  • Ocean City Music Pier (map)

On May 7, 1824, Ludwig van Beethoven's ninth and final symphony debuted at Vienna’s Theater am Kärntnertor. This year, almost every orchestra in the world will be celebrating the 200th anniversary of this masterwork, and the Ocean City Pops is excited to take part in those celebrations on Wednesday, August 28. One of the fixtures of the Ocean City Arts scene, Richard Stanislaw, will serve as Chorusmaster, and the Music Pier stage will erupt with an expanded orchestra, a full choir, and some of the best music ever composed. Don't miss this one-of-a-kind musical event! Tickets are $22 and $27 and can be purchased at ocnj.us/boxoffice.
