Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony is joyously celebrated at the Proms. Plus: what happened when a pilot was sucked halfway out of the cockpit. Here’s what to watch this evening
8pm, BBC FourIt is the 200th anniversary of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony, and given that it’s arguably the most well-known piece of classical music, it’s only right that it is commemorated. Nicholas Collon conducts the Aurora Orchestra in a signature memorised Proms performance. Soloists include Masabane Cecilia Rangwanasha, Marta Fontanals-Simmons, Brenden Gunnell and Christopher Purves. The National Youth Choir of Great Britain joins for the final, joyous movement.
