The orchestra closes its 75th season with the world premiere of a new work by the local composer Robert J. Bradshaw, commissioned for the anniversary, followed by Beethoven's Symphony No. 9, the “Choral,” first heard in Vienna in 1824, whose finale sets Schiller's “Ode to Joy” for four vocal soloists and chorus. Music director Yoichi Udagawa conducts.
