Event

Following the Ninth

Presentation of the acclaimed documentary Following the Ninth followed with a discussion by the film's director Kerry Candaele.

Following the Ninth is a cinematic celebration of the most profound musical testament to tolerance, peace and connection across all borders the world has shared for centuries. A tapestry of cultures, musicality, voices and ideas, Following the Ninth traces an indelible path from Beethoven's pen to the sights and sounds of virtually every corner of the world where his final symphony has sounded.

FOLLOWING THE NINTH tells the story of people whose lives have been transformed, repaired and healed by Beethoven's Ninth message: Alle Menschen werden Bruder (All People Are Brothers) Director Kerry Candaele follows the artistic, cultural, and political impact of the Ninth across five continents and ten countries, from Tiananmen Square to the Berlin Wall to the prisons of Pinochet's Chile and the townships of South Africa, tracing the ways in which its grand, soaring melody and inspiring words of peace, tolerance, and love have sustained hope in a manner that few works of art have ever achieved.

A dessert reception at Le Pain Quotidien will follow the presentation. (Additional cost for reception ticket.)
