On 28 March, Tan Dun conducts the UK premiere of his Choral Concerto: Nine — a commission of the Royal Philharmonic Society — with the London Philharmonic Orchestra London’s Royal Festival Hall, alongside Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9. 

On 29 March he joins the orchestra again at Symphony Hall, Birmingham, for the same programme.

The work is performed by the London Philharmonic Choir and the London Chinese Philharmonic Choir, with soloists Elizabeth Watts, Hongni Wu, John Findon and Dingle Yandell.

This sold-out concert will mark the return of Tan Dun to London after the success of his Buddha Passion with London Philharmonic few seasons ago.
