London Symphonia opens its 2023-24 Season in spectacular style with Beethoven’s monumental Ninth Symphony. The “Ode to Joy” and its powerful message of peace, hope and a brighter future — known around the world — features four outstanding soloists: Bethany Hörst, soprano, Sophie Louise Roland, mezzo-soprano, Bud Roach, tenor, and Giles Tomkins, bass. We are thrilled that the Amabile Choirs of London, The London Singers, and the H.B. Beal Secondary School Singers will be performing in this most magnificent work.
Matthias Maute, one of London Symphonia’s favourite conductors, returns to the podium to lead this very special performance.
