- **Event Description**: Beethoven: Choral Fantasy
Bernstein: Symphony No. 3, “Kaddish” (text by Samuel Pisar)

Michael Francis conducts an unforgettable evening of music and storytelling. First is Beethoven’s Choral Fantasy, an uplifting fusion of piano, orchestra and choir that hints at the famous Ode to Joy theme. Then, Bernstein’s “Kaddish” Symphony delivers a deeply moving reflection on life, loss and resilience. It features inspiring text by Samuel Pisar, who defied all odds to survive multiple Holocaust concentration camps as a child. In this rare performance, special narration will be provided by his widow, Judith, and daughter, Leah. Both works feature The Master Chorale of Tampa Bay, principal chorus of The Florida Orchestra. Bernstein’s Kaddish Symphony also features the Lumina Youth Choir; Deah McReynolds, Artistic Director.

We’re full of surprises. Select Masterworks concerts have a surprise inside – a short mystery piece that connects to the program in an unexpected way. Each one is Michael Francis’ little secret.
