Aurora Orchestra: Beethoven’s Ninth from memory
Aurora Orchestra: Beethoven’s Ninth from memoryPresented by Saffron Hall
Mark the 200th anniversary of Beethoven’s monumental Ninth Symphony with a signature memorised presentation and performance from Aurora, the BBC Singers, National Youth Choir and star soloists.
Beethoven’s final symphony is also his most powerful – a manifesto for social change, political upheaval and the limitless possibilities of human artistic expression. In collaboration with Actor Rhiannon May and Actor/BSL Interpreter Thomas Simper, Aurora celebrates joy and hope composed in the midst of hearing loss, illness and personal tragedy. Don't miss a signature bold, brilliant take on Beethoven’s symphonic journey, from brutality to the uplifting embrace of love.
