Beethoven Symphony No. 5 in C Minor, Op. 67
Hamish McKeich, Conductor
The New Zealand Symphony Orchestra, with Principal Conductor in Residence Hamish McKeich, return to the stage to stream a live performance of one of Beethoven’s iconic 5th Symphony during the 250th anniversary of his birth.
Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5 has perhaps the most famous opening of any piece of classical music. Its “da-da-da-dah” rhythmic motif has found its way into pop songs, Morse code and even Doctor Who. But its ubiquity hides its genius: using this distinctive motif as a common thread throughout all four movements, Beethoven wrote a symphony whose form was cyclic, rather than linear, and thus revolutionised symphonic form.
Originally part of the 2020 Podium Series Emperor tour, we’re excited to bring Beethoven’s iconic 5th Symphony to you online, live and for free!
