Over time the Ninth Symphony has become a part of Japanese culture. Every year people from over Japan get together to perform the last part of the symphony, which is called “Ode to Joy”. The Ninth Symphony is perform by choirs, music groups and art organizations in almost every part of Japan. For the people who perform and listen to the Ninth Symphony it is a way to come together and share their love of music. The Ninth Symphony represents unity and a shared love of art for people, in Japan.
The Tenri Ninth Chorus Concert continues this tradition in Nara Prefecture. Tenri is famous over the world for its strong spiritual background and special buildings. It is a place for a concert that is about people being unit. The concert has a group of singers from the local area and nearby regions. These singers are well train to sing difficult parts from Beethoven’s music with a full orchestra playing with them. Hearing the voices of the “Ode, to Joy” in the small and nice-sounding room of Tenri Civic Hall shows how European classical music is now a big part of modern Japanese culture.
