Bristol Ensemble At Home – Ben England
Bristol Ensemble At Home – free online chamber recitals
You are invited to enjoy our series of 30 minute informal online recitals and talks which you can watch via the Bristol Ensemble’s YouTube channel at www.youtube.com.
Ben England – “Nicht diese Töne!”
In this talk, conductor and music educator Ben England explores the evolution of ‘Ode to Joy’, a tune that Beethoven seemed unable to shake throughout his life. Discover its origins as an unpublished song (Gegenliebe WoO 135, composed in 1794 when Beethoven was only 24), and follow its development to the Choral Fantasy from 1808 and ultimately to its final form as the basis for his world-famous Ninth Symphony.
The recital is available for you to watch and enjoy free of charge. If you would like to make a donation to the Bristol Ensemble*, you can do so by clicking the link below or by visiting www.easydonate.org or by text:
