Finished in 1824, Beethoven’s 9th has become one of the most well known works in the classical canon, featuring the hallmark “Ode to Joy.” For their performances on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, the Beethoven material is paired with Schoenberg’s “A Survivor from Warsaw.” Written in 1948, Austrian composer Arnold Schoenberg dedicated the work to victims of the Holocaust. $20-$96, 8pm, Tobin Center, 100 Auditorium Cir., (210) 223-8624
