Magnus Lindberg: Two Episodes *
Ludwig Van Beethoven: Symphony No.9 (Choral)
There is no interval in this performance which ends at approx. 9pm

A performance of Beethoven's Ninth – more an experience with the power to change lives, than just another symphony. From the tragic opening to the climactic, world-embracing 'Ode to Joy', every live performance is a special occasion. Regular guest conductor Christoph Eschenbach has assembled a team of outstanding young soloists to turn this one into a hymn to optimism and renewal – coupled with a freshly-minted work by the Orchestra's Composer in Residence Magnus Lindberg. As Beethoven puts it, 'Here's a kiss for all the world': they can't imagine a more uplifting conclusion to the LPO's season.
