Beethoven’s Ninth at the Proms

Beethoven’s monumental Choral Symphony, with its famous Ode to Joy finale, takes centre stage at the Royal Albert Hall. Ryan Wigglesworth is at the helm of the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra alongside the BBC Symphony Chorus and an all-star team of Scottish soloists - Eleanor Dennis, Karen Cargill, Nicky Spence and Michael Mofidian - for this mighty tour-de-force of musical revolution, a symphonic journey from darkness to light and of triumph over adversity.
