About This Event

Beethoven helped change the European musical landscape but in his final symphony he imagined the most startling transformation of all: from a brutal, joyless world to one of uplifting and embracing brotherhood. He did it by writing his most vivid music yet and employing 鈥� to startling effect 鈥� a chorus, proclaiming Friedrich Schiller鈥檚 uplifting 鈥極de to Joy鈥�.

Vladimir Jurowski returns to the Proms, opening with a new work from one of the finest orchestral craftsmen of our time, Magnus Lindberg.
