Performer: Elizabeth Atherton

A thrilling, expansive Bruckner 3 is preceded by Beethoven's Egmont overture and Elizabeth Atherton singing Kaija Saariaho's exquisite Leino Songs.

Britten and Shostakovich rub shoulders at Kings Place in a programme that careers into darkness with the latter's desolate Fourteenth Symphony. 

Nine symphonies, five orchestras, two days: an immersive weekend as part of the Barbican's Beethoven 250 coverage featuring some of the UK's finest orchestras.
