Summary
Anja Bihlmaier leads the BBC Philharmonic and a vocal cast in Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony at The Bridgewater Hall, alongside works by John Adams, Roderick Williams and Pauline Oliveros.
Why it's fantastic
There is no sound more recognisable than the final movement of this symphony, a celebratory anthem that remains the ultimate expression of human unity. Hearing those famous melodies live is a physical experience, especially when paired with a first half that experiments with the textures of a full choir.
