About This Event
Beethoven’s final symphony is also his most powerful – a manifesto for social change, political upheaval and the limitless possibilities of human artistic expression. Mark the 200th anniversary of Beethoven’s monumental Ninth Symphony with a signature memorised presentation and performance from Aurora Orchestra and Nicholas Collon, in collaboration with the BBC Singers, the National Youth Choir of Great Britain, Actor Rhiannon May and Actor/BSL Interpreter Thomas Simper.

A celebration of joy and hope composed in the midst of hearing loss, illness and personal tragedy, this Prom is a bold, brilliant take on Beethoven’s symphonic journey from brutality to the uplifting embrace of love.
