Independence High School

The LSO is celebrating its 35th anniversary and for its season opener is collaborating with the Master Singers of Virginia and Loudoun Lyric Opera to present Beethoven’s glorious masterwork, Symphony No. 9, which has never been performed in Loudoun County! The 9th broke traditional rules of classical music, by adding human voices to a symphony. It also turned the famous “Ode to Joy” into a global anthem for human unity.
