BBC SSO 2017-18 Season Perth Concert Series: Beethoven's Ninth

Every performance of the Ninth is a major occasion, and with four exceptional soloists and the fresh voices of the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, this will be a magnificent opening to the new Perth season. But no revolution happens in isolation, and in a specially-conceived first half, Thomas Dausgaard conducts a journey into Beethoven’s musical ancestry: from Mozart back to Handel, Bach and the music of the Renaissance. Hear the Ninth with new ears!
