Royal Northern Sinfonia: Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony

Shostakovich’s Cello Concerto is 30 minutes of the most intense music you’ll ever experience. Tense and attention-grabbing from the start, it draws you right in, lets you relax a little in the mournful slow movement, and then ratchets things up in a nail-biting ending.

The concert is capped with what are perhaps the most famous four notes in history. Drama, tension and emotion, Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony is an epic musical journey that begins with those iconic four dada-da-daaaa’s. Carlos Simon’s piece, full of shimmering melodies, is inspired by Beethoven’s music and starts the evening with high drama.
