It was announced today that following his success last summer at the BBC Proms, Salzburg Festival and Berlin Musikfest, Dinis Sousa will return to conduct the complete Beethoven Symphonies with the Orchestre Révolutionnaire et Romantique (ORR) and the Monteverdi Choir in London and Paris. The news follows Sir John Eliot Gardiner’s decision to extend his time away from public music-making until later in the year.
Gardiner said, “I am proud of the members of the three Monteverdi ensembles and management for bringing to fruition the concerts that were planned between August and now, and I wish to thank Peter Whelan and Dinis Sousa for taking over the forthcoming projects which mark the start of a year celebrating the Choir’s 60th birthday.”
Sousa will conduct the Orchestre Révolutionnaire et Romantique in five concerts at St. Martin-in-the-Fields in London, and four concerts at the Philharmonie de Paris. In addition to the complete Beethoven symphonies, their performances will also feature Beethoven’s Mass in C major and the Overture from The Creatures of Prometheus. The Monteverdi Choir will join for Beethoven’s Mass in C major and Symphony No. 9. Concert dates and more information are available below:
