Comments
Beethoven’s decent into total deafness was originally used by contemporary critics to explain why his late works seemed so strange and difficult at the time, rather than progressive and innovative. By the end of the nineteenth century critical opinion had reversed with many believing that much of Beethoven’s genius was now thought to be because of his deafness, not despite it. in this lecture (presented by the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra as part of their Beethoven Festival) Peter Tregear will explore why this extraordinary transformation came about and how the idea of Beethoven as a deaf composer still seems to haunt the way we hear his music today.

(An Auslan interpreter will be in attendance)

As part of the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra’s Beethoven Festival over 500 singers from five Victorian choirs will be joining forces at the Melbourne Town Hall to learn and sing Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9, culminating in a free public performance of the powerful last movement of this incredible symphony. Beethoven was completely deaf when he composed this, his last, symphony. In collaboration with the MSO, musician and educator Karen Kyriakou has created an Auslan (Australian Sign Language) interpretation of the Symphony’s Ode to Joy text to be performed by a Sign-Singing Choir to feel and express this incredible symphony from another angle. So on 20 August, when the Town Hall will see hundreds of singers from all over the State join together with the Orchestra to raise their voices in celebration of this glorious music, the Sign-Singing choir (comprising Melbournians with and without hearing impairments) will be raising their hands too!

This is a full day activity, with rehearsals for the Sign-Singing choir commencing at 10am at the Melbourne Town Hall and the final public performance beginning at 5.15pm. An Auslan Interpreter will be in attendance throughout the whole day.

For your chance to perform in the sign-singing choir with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra contact Anna Melville (MSO Artistic Coordinator)
