Summary
Delyana Lazarova conducts the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, Hallé Choir and four soloists in Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony and Unsuk Chin’s Subito con forza at Glasgow City Halls.
Why it's fantastic
Experience the sheer scale of the famous Ode to Joy melody as a massive choir joins the orchestra for this symphonic landmark. It begins with a short, punchy modern opener inspired by the composer’s own sketches, before building toward that final, universal anthem for humanity that everyone recognises.
