A monumental night of music and majesty. Celebrate the power and passion of Beethoven’s greatest works in an unforgettable evening at our Hall. 

This all-Beethoven programme features two towering masterpieces performed by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of Christopher Warren-Green.

The evening opens with the bold and commanding Piano Concerto No. 5 ‘Emperor’, a work of heroic spirit and lyrical beauty. Then, experience the full force of Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9 ‘Choral’, culminating in the electrifying Ode to Joy, a triumphant call for unity, hope, and humanity.
