    Beethoven's Voice

    He wrote songs and choral works that were inspired by sources from around the world, and imbued them with a solemn — almost sacred — air. As we continue our Beethoven Festival this week, Collegiate Chorale conductor Robert Bass joins Lauren Rico and George Preston live in the studio for "The Spirit is Willing: Beethoven's Vocal Music."

    Robert Bass has been Music Director of the world renowned Collegiate Chorale since 1980 and celebrated his 25th anniversary in the 2004-05 season. Two of his performances at Carnegie Hall with The Chorale have since become critically acclaimed recordings. In August, 2006, The Collegiate Chorale and Robert Bass were invited by James Levine to perform the Beethoven's Ninth Symphony at the prestigious Verbier Festival in Switzerland.
