There’s always something new to discover in the world’s most famous symphony, presented in all its stunning glory by the London Philharmonic Orchestra.

Some composers make their own rules, and with four notes, Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony reset the agenda for Western music.

It’s a timeless tale – defiant, impetuous and gripping now as it was in the age of revolution: worthy musical company, in other words, for two women who defied impossible odds.

Leonore, the courageous heroine of Beethoven’s only opera, is a fictional character.

But the pioneering African American composer Florence Price was absolutely real, and LPO Leader Pieter Schoeman steps into the spotlight to bring her neglected Second Violin Concerto to vibrant, songful life tonight.
