Beethoven鈥檚 Fifth Symphony has one of classical music鈥檚 most famous openings. This iconic four-note motif returns again and again. Is it a thunderclap 鈥� or fate, knocking at the door? Make up your own mind at a Prom that also features lush orchestrations of music by the Romantic composer Sergey Rachmaninov, plus a rhapsodic work for solo violin by pioneering Black British composer Samuel Coleridge-Taylor 鈥� originally premiered in 1912, just weeks before the composer鈥檚 tragic death at the age of just 37.
