The Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra has announced the “Beethoven in Liverpool” Festival, marking the 200th anniversary of his death with all nine symphonies and six world premieres led by Domingo Hindoyan.

From Jan. 14 – 30, 2027, Hindoyan will conduct all nine Beethoven symphonies in a complete cycle for the first time across five concerts, over two weeks. The world premieres on the program are new orchestral works written by composers and young musicians from the North West.

The soloists for Beethoven’s “Symphony” No. 9 include Lauren Fagan, Stephanie Maitland, Ed Lyon, and Roderick Williams. Matthew Hamilton directs the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Choir. Paul Whittaker will provide BSL interpretation.

In a press release the Hindoyan said, “Performing all nine allows us to follow the extraordinary evolution of Beethoven’s genius, from the classical foundations of his First Symphony to the revolutionary vision of the Ninth. Each work challenges us in a different way, demanding everything from us as musicians.”
