Prom 19

This listing is in the past
Royal Albert HallKensington Gore, London, Greater London, SW7 2AP, United Kingdom
Dates/times in London time zone
Festival: BBC Proms
Thomas Dausgaard’s audacious programme opens
with a new composition by Benedict Mason (cancelled) and
there’s the UK premiere of a briefly blazing, tuba-rich
symphony completed in 1945 by the Danish maverick
whose Music of the Spheres was such a highlight of the
2010 Proms season. The established masterpieces
are Russian: Shostakovich’s hyper-concentrated First
Cello Concerto, in which we welcome Proms debut
artist Daniel Müller-Schott, and Tchaikovsky’s most
radical and masterly symphonic confrontation with
existential despair.
