About This Show
Part of the BBC Proms.
You’ve never heard Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony quite like this! The Aurora Orchestra, conductor Nicholas Collon and presenter Tom Service are your guides as they take apart this revolutionary symphony – with its famous four-note opening – revealing the many questions it raises, as well as a few answers, before performing the entire work from memory. BBC Proms relaxed performances are designed to suit individuals or groups who feel more comfortable attending concerts in a relaxed environment. There is a relaxed attitude to noise and audience-members are free to leave and re-enter the auditorium at any point. There will be chill-out areas, where spaces are made for anyone needing a bit of quiet time before or during the performance.
