The concert forms a part of a larger project encompassing the performance of complete Beethoven symphonies by Le Concert des Nations orchestra founded by Jordi Savall. In Kraków, we will hear in Kraków a classical piece, yet already very close to the Romantic period, crowned with the famous Ode to Joy. The concert commemorates the 250th birth anniversary of Ludwig van Beethoven.

ICE Classic is a unique series of classical music concerts, which induced Krakow to the group of important music stages in Europe. Thanks to the concert space offered by the ICE Kraków Congress Centre, the capital of the Małopolska region has at its disposal a concert venue accommodating nearly 2,000 people, with excellent technical facilities and high acoustic performance.
The ICE Classic brand is consistently built upon the performances of the greatest stars of classical music. Krakow has already hosted some of the most outstanding opera soloists of our times: Aleksandra Kurzak, Edita Gruberová, Diana Damrau and Elīna Garanča, exquisite instrumentalists: Anne-Sophie Mutter, Ivo Pogorelić and Piotr Anderszewski, the outstanding conductor Kent Nagano with the Orchestre symphonique de Montréal and the extraordinary composer Max Richter.
This year, the ICE Classic cycle also comprises the recital by Jakub Józef Orliński.
