The Proms is marking this great anniversary with a focus that includes all nine Beethoven symphonies across the summer, and much more.

The First Night opens with a specially commissioned mash-up of all nine symphonies, composed by Iain Farrington and performed by 323 musicians drawn from the BBC’s orchestras, all recorded in lockdown.
