To celebrate the 200th anniversary of this extraordinary piece, Aurora Orchestra take to the stage at the Royal Albert Hall with a signature memorised performance, led by conductor Nicholas Collon, as well as a dramatic exploration into the intricacies of the music and the maestro.\n\nThe masterpiece was composed in the midst of Beethoven’s hearing loss, illness and personal tragedy. In a Prom like no other, the orchestra dissects and analyses the work, revealing its secrets and demystifying its majesty, before performing it entirely from memory.\n\nSolo vocalists Masabane Cecilia Rangwanasha, Marta Fontanals-Simmons, Brenden Gunnell and Christopher Purves are joined by the BBC Singers and the National Youth Choir of Great Britain to form the chorus for the joyous final movement. Presented by Linton Stephens.
