About This Event
Beethoven鈥檚 final symphony is also his most powerful 鈥� a manifesto for social change, political upheaval and the limitless possibilities of human artistic expression. Mark the 200th anniversary of the monumental Ninth Symphony with a signature memorised presentation and performance from the Aurora Orchestra and Nicholas Collon, in collaboration with the 成人快手 Singers, National Youth Choir of Great Britain, actor Rhiannon May and actor/BSL-interpreter Thomas Simper. This Prom is a bold, brilliant take on Beethoven鈥檚 symphonic journey from brutality to the uplifting embrace of love.
