Baltimore Symphony Orchestra performs 9/11 tribute paired with Beethoven

In 2002, the New York Philharmonic Orchestra commissioned a new work from American composer John Adams to commemorate the victims of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. The piece, "On the Transmigration of Souls," received its premiere just weeks after the first anniversary of 9/11, sharing a program with Beethoven's monumental Ninth Symphony.
