Beethoven – Symphony No. 6 ‘Pastoral’ + Living Programme Note directed by Fraser Trainer

The Living Programme Note, first created in 2014 by Matthew Barley and Fraser Trainer with The Multi-Story Orchestra, is a unique experience that takes place across 4 levels of the multi-storey car park. Building on the success of previous Living Programme Notes for Shostakovich Cello Concerto and Beethoven Symphony no. 7 in 2016, Fraser Trainer and Multi-Story Orchestra are re-uniting to present Beethoven’s famous ‘Pastoral’ Symphony – a “radical work… more purely spine-tingling and life-enhancingly joyful than almost anywhere else in his output” (The Guardian). The musicians of The Multi-Story Orchestra will give the audience a unique encounter with Beethoven’s Symphony No. 6, culminating in a full performance of the piece.
