Performances of Ludwig van Beethoven at BBC Orchestras and Choirs

Under the baton of British conductor Chloe Rooke, we’ll be joined by acclaimed violinist Tobias Feldman for a programme of Beethoven, Mendelssohn, and Schubert.

Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto sings with elegance and life. This meticulous yet passionate piece takes you on a heartfelt journey of discovery.

City Noir is John Adams’s musical tribute to half-lit rooms, venetian blinds, desperate men, dangerous women, secrets, lies, and the City of Angels.

Music that glitters, sings and dances for joy, as Sakari Oramo pairs two newly minted classics with Beethoven’s brightest symphony.

Richard Strauss’s Metamorphosen is a lament for strings, mourning the destruction of Europe in the World War II and the collapse of the musical civilisation that shaped and inspired him.

When it comes to symphonies, Beethoven's Third symphony was a real game changer.

From The King’s Speech to Amadeus; Out of Africa to 2001 A Space Odyssey, the BBC Concert Orchestra celebrates the classics from the movies – live, in Nottingham.

Earthly travail lead to heavenly bliss in Strauss’ Death and Transfiguration. To conduct we welcome back award-winning French conductor Alexandre Bloch.

The ever-popular Martyn Brabbins returns to BBC NOW this May as we travel to St Davids for the annual Cathedral Festival.

Although less frequently performed that some of his other symphonies, Beethoven’s Second Symphony is a snapshot of Beethoven at his most humorous. Unpredictability and playfulness tally with a bold explosion of joy in this vividly contrasting symphony.

This BBC NOW concert offers a gentle journey through three very different musical worlds — from lively drama to sparkling elegance, and finally to the peaceful beauty of the countryside.
