£5, ONE HOUR... and an experience you'll never forget.

One of the most fearless and inventive composers of all time, Beethoven's symphonies are a spectacle to experience live. His mighty Third Symphony is fiery, ambitious and 'heroic' from beginning to end. This is a performance that will knock you backwards - not to be missed.
