Beethoven Unleashed: Youthful Beethoven

Beethoven's Symphony No 9. National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain, youth choirs and soloists Ailish Tynan, Jennifer Johnston, Toby Spence and Gerald Finley from the 2013 Proms.

In a week when the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain was to have worked with conductor Marin Alsop on Beethoven's mighty Ninth Symphony, another chance to hear the Orchestra's Proms performance of the same work from 2013.

The National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain is joined by four soloists and three youthful choirs from the UK and Ireland, including from Derry-Londonderry, the UK City of Culture 2013, in music by Vaughan Williams, Turnage and Beethoven.
