One of the highlights of our 2023/24 season at The Glasshouse – our Principal Conductor Dinis Sousa and Royal Northern Sinfonia perform Beethoven’s Symphony No.3 on home turf.

About ‘Eroica’
Beethoven surprised his musical world with the first symphony and outraged many with his inventive and expansive second. But no one was prepared for the earthquake that was to be his third. Critics howled it down as “lawless” and a “wild fantasia” - nevertheless, symphonies would never be the same again. Apart from being almost double the length of the traditional symphony, here was a truly heroic Eroica, embarking on an epic orchestral adventure, introducing strange transitions, combinations of sounds and violent dissonances, and presenting dramatic material which proclaimed the artist’s faith in mankind and its aspirations.

We couldn’t pick our favourite movement, so you’ve got them all:
