Beethoven’s Ninth
Southbank Centre, Royal Festival Hall, SE1 8XX , [Venue Details]Tan Dun conducts the UK premiere of his choral concerto – plus a full performance of Beethoven’s world-changing symphony – with the London Philharmonic Orchestra.
Beethoven wanted his Ninth Symphony to embrace all humanity, so when Tan Dun set out to compose his own tribute to Beethoven, he aimed just as high, combining ancient poetry from China and Europe to create an ‘ode to peace’ worthy of Beethoven’s Ode to Joy.
His choral concerto Nine is everything you’d expect from the composer of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. East meets West, and the result transcends both.
