BBC Proms 2024 42 Beethoven - Symphony No. 9 - 21 August 2024 HDTV 


Prom 42: Beethoven’s Ninth by Heart
Royal Albert Hall, London UK
Wednesday 21 August 2024


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 the monumental Ninth Symphony with a signature memorised presentation and performance from the Aurora Orchestra and Nicholas Collon, in collaboration with the BBC 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’s symphonic journey from brutality to the uplifting embrace of love.
