May 2022 Concert
William Grant Still was a pioneering African-American composer, and his Festive Overture was named the winner of a 1944 overture competition sponsored by the Cincinnati Symphony. Our belated celebration of the 250th birthday of Ludwig van Beethoven features his iconic Ninth Symphony, whose final movement’s “Ode to Joy” sings of the brotherhood of mankind. The ESO will be joined by the North Shore Choral Society and four stellar vocal soloists in this sublime work.

Program Notes
Schedule update regarding COVID-19 concerns
All of us at Evanston Symphony Orchestra hope that you, our generous and loyal patrons, are safe and well. As you likely have heard by now, the Evanston Symphony Orchestra announced the cancellation of the remainder of our 2019–2020 season on March 26th. We take the safety and health of our artists, staff and especially our audience very seriously, yet this was an incredibly difficult decision, as we were very excited to present our March and May concerts.The impact of these lost performances is large, but your understanding can make a difference.
Our two part celebration of the 250th birthday of Ludwig van Beethoven concludes with both his revolutionary First Symphony and his iconic Ninth Symphony, whose final movement’s “Ode to Joy” sings of the brotherhood of mankind. The ESO will be joined by the North Shore Choral Society and four stellar vocal soloists in this sublime work.
