200th Anniversary Concert. Brighton Festival Chorus will join the National Symphony Orchestra, under the baton of Rimma Sushanskaya to mark the exact 200th anniversary, to the day, of the first public performance of the Symphony. The Ninth Symphony premiered on 7 May 1824 at the Theater am Kärntnertor in Vienna, with the hall packed with an eager and curious audience. It was the composer’s first on-stage appearance in 12 years.
‘Alongside the usual sparklingly festive favourites performed by Juliette, our Chorus, Youth Choir and the RPO, this year is a unique opportunity to celebrate Christmas as a county by joining together in song online. We want as many people as possible to upload their versions of the carols we’ve chosen, so we can make the concert one that will live long in the memory!’
