Beethoven Symphony No.9 “Choral”

The York Beethoven Project completes its symphony cycle with Beethoven's Ninth, plus Handel's Zadok the Priest and a new commission, at Selby Abbey.

The York Beethoven Project, a come-and-play orchestra of local musicians, performs Beethoven's Symphony No.9 'Choral' as the finale of its cycle of all nine symphonies, marking the bicentenary of the composer's death. The choir includes singers from York Opera, Cantores, York Musical Society and South Bank Singers, and the programme also features Handel's Zadok the Priest and the world premiere of 'Augury' by local composer Cameron McArthur. Doors open at 6.45pm and there will be a licensed bar.
