They say that nothing great lasts forever – and this night at the Barbican is no exception. For one night only, you can hear some of the best classical music of all time, live in concert. Catch a mesmerising rendition of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony and Haydn's sparkling Trumpet Concerto, performed by the award-winning orchestra Academy of Ancient Music on June 27.

What makes this orchestra so special? Well, they make use of rare, original instruments, the likes of which would've been played when Beethoven and Haydn were alive. Until you've heard it played like this, you've no idea just how great it can sound.

It's a rare performance of much-loved music performed by some of the best instrumentalists in their field. Book now to avoid serious FOMO.

No really, have a listen and you'll recognise it instantly. The opening of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony has become classical music's calling card, so there's nothing like experiencing it ‘for real'.

You needn't use AI to feel like you've been transported back to Beethoven's prime. The Academy of Ancient Music has won awards for its performances of music using instruments like those used centuries ago when the music was written.

Don't miss this rare opportunity. Witness it all come to life on Friday June 27, at the Barbican (one of London's finest concert halls). And remember, it's one night only, so tickets are going fast.
