A Symphony of Sagas: Beethoven and Tolkien Come Alive in London
The London Philharmonic Orchestra invites audiences to experience an orchestral extravaganza like no other. With the UK premiere of Tan Dun's Nine and Beethoven's Ninth Symphony at the Southbank Centre, and the epic Lord of the Rings concert trilogy at the Royal Albert Hall, these events promise a cultural feast where music and storytelling unite in an unforgettable celebration.

Share1. Beethoven’s Ninth
Beethoven wanted his Ninth Symphony to embrace all humanity, so when Tan Dun set out to compose his own tribute to Beethoven, he aimed just as high, combining ancient poetry from China and Europe to create an ‘ode to peace’ worthy of Beethoven’s Ode to Joy. His choral concerto Nine is everything you’d expect from the composer of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and tonight Tan Dun joins us to conduct the UK premiere – plus a full performance of Beethoven’s world-changing symphony. East meets West, and the result transcends both.
