Maestro Robert Moody conducts
The Arizona Musicfest Festival Orchestra & Chorus

As you well know, this is one of the great creations.

It takes a talented orchestra to perform The Ninth with the majesty required. Arizona Musicfest has that.

The Ninth is also the first example of a major composer using voices in a symphony. It demands a powerful and disciplined chorus. Arizona Musicfest has that, as well.

Beethoven himself conducted the Premiere performance. 187 years later, we are thrilled that our Maestro, our Orchestra, and our Chorus will use The Ninth to conclude the Orchestral Series of our 20th Festival.

Thank you, Robert Moody, for our “best Festival yet”!

Premium Seating available in the orange areas of the seating chart below.
