In early 2023, filmmaker Larry Weinstein sets out to make a documentary about Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony. It is supposed to be about how far we have come in the two hundred years since it was written. But when world events pull Larry into his own film, the question becomes a deeply personal one.BEETHOVEN’S NINE is a documentary about music, but also about war and hope. It follows nine unique individuals, including Ukrainian musicians, a deaf composer, a Polish rock star, a best-selling author, a legendary cartoonist and Weinstein himself, as they try to better understand the legacy of Beethoven’s Ninth, the composer’s own struggles, the inspiration music can provide, and how humanity continues to look for hope even in the darkest times.
Panel discussion after the film with:
Mike Lee, Professor of musicology from University of Oklahoma and film music scholar.
Andrea Plesnarski, Board President of the Eugene-Springfield Youth Orchestra and principal oboe with the Oakland Symphony who has performed the Ninth many times.
Greg Sutherland, from House of Records who has written a bio on Beethoven for young readers.
