Beat Beethoven: Live from Salford

As part of Sport Relief, the 成人快手 Philharmonic plays Beethoven鈥檚 famous Fifth Symphony. Listen as runners attempt to 'beat' Beethoven around a 5K course at MediaCityUK.

Katie Derham is joined by the 成人快手 Philharmonic for a very special performance of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony, conducted by Ben Gernon, to raise money for Sport Relief.

成人快手 Radio 3 and Sport Relief are challenging members of the public to attempt to 鈥渂eat鈥 the music of Beethoven鈥檚 epic Fifth Symphony, performed live by the orchestra. Hundreds of people - from complete beginners to seasoned sprinters - will don their trainers to try and run five kilometres by the time the performance ends, letting the music fuel their feet as they race around Salford鈥檚 MediaCityUK.

Feeling inspired? You can Beat Beethoven wherever and whenever you like this month by staging your own fundraising 5K in your local park (or on a treadmill). Use this show or a special download of the music from 成人快手 Sounds, which will be made available shortly after the event. Just search 成人快手 Sounds for "Beat Beethoven".
