Some dying to write ninth symphony

THE BALTIMORE SUN

When Ludwig van Beethoven's Ninth Symphony rose, Olympus-like, above the musical landscape in 1824, it cast not just a huge shadow, but also -- some otherwise sensible folks soon believed -- a curse.

BSO / / Beethoven's Symphony No. 9, conducted by Carlos Kalmar. 8 p.m. Thursday, Music Center at Strathmore; 7:30 p.m. Friday at Meyerhoff Symphony Hall. $12.50-$30. 410-783-8000 or baltimoresymphony.org.
