Calling All European Musicians: Step up to the Ode to Joy Challenge

This month marks the 200th anniversary of the first performance of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony. To celebrate the occasion, musicians across Europe are invited to submit contemporary interpretations of Ode to Joy as a tribute to freedom, diversity, and a bright future for all. While young people are especially encouraged to participate, individuals and groups representing all ages, genres, and artistic mediums are welcome to submit on the Ode2Joy website by May 10.
