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 season. But no revolution happens in isolation, and in a specially-conceived first half, Thomas Dausgaard introduces a season-long exploration of Composers’ Roots with a journey into Beethoven’s musical ancestry: from Haydn and Mozart back to Handel, Bach and the music of the Renaissance. Hear the Ninth with new ears!
