Summary
Anna Handler conducts the Ulster Orchestra, vocal soloists and choir at Ulster Hall in a programme of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony alongside works by Brahms and Britten.
Why it's fantastic
Experience the monumental scale of Beethoven’s final symphony, famous for its triumphant fourth movement melody that everyone recognises. This performance pairs that choral powerhouse with Britten’s energetic piano tribute to the sun god, offering a perfect entry point for anyone who wants to hear the full force of a live orchestra.
