Exploring Beethoven’s Seventh

Â鶹ԼÅÄ Proms 2020

The Aurora Orchestra and their conductor, Nicholas Collon, unpick Beethoven's Seventh Symphony to explore the inner workings of the composer's creative genius before performing the work - from memory!

To celebrate Beethoven’s 250th anniversary, Tom Service and the Aurora Orchestra present a unique evening in which conductor Nicholas Collon and the orchestra take apart Beethoven’s popular Seventh Symphony and show us the inner workings of the composer’s creative genius, followed by a performance of the work in the orchestra’s signature style - from memory!

Also on the bill at the Royal Albert Hall is a new work by British composer Richard Ayres, whose piece is inspired by Beethoven’s struggle with his loss of hearing.
