Music is very powerful; it speaks much more than words. So we channel that energy. That voice of protest goes right into those iconic first four notes of Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony. You can imagine where that’s directed! Almost every tour, we’ve had Beethoven. We’ve performed the “Eroica”—his Third Symphony, the Ninth, and now the Fifth. He represents truth; good winning over evil is always his message. And it’s such powerful music that it’s one of the best musical vehicles for us to deliver this message. (Vogue)
