Metropolitan Youth Symphony is proud to present its season finale “Joy Manifest: Beethoven’s Ninth” on June 14, 7:30 PM at Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall. From turmoil to triumph, Beethoven’s final symphony breaks the mold and sings of universal fraternity. It’s not just the shoulders we stand on: it’s the future we reach for.
