Description With ChorusOz now in its 14th years, how wonderful to gather on this sacred site that has been the home to storytellers for thousands of years to explore and celebrate the genius of Ludwig van Beethoven, whose music and ideas have inspired countless composers and generations. Not only that but the chance to explore his great music from three different angles - the operatic, the ecclesiastical and the symphonic. And all three works presented in ChorusOz this year holds a special place in the larger autobiographical aspects of Beethoven's life.
