10marPeace, Victory, Beethoven

Event Details

In response to the Allied Victory in Europe and Japan in 1945, Toscanini and the NBC Symphony Orchestra performed Beethoven. Throughout the war, the opening motif of Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony echoed V for Victory in Morse code, and as fighting finally ended, the Ninth Symphony’s hymn of brotherhood signaled hope for a peaceful future. Join us for an archival audio salon, featuring excerpts of Beethoven’s Fifth and Ninth symphonies, plus excerpts from the Armed Forces Radio Service broadcasts.
