The Royal Albert Hall’s great organ is showcased in a series of Proms this year, starting with Poulenc’s Baroque-inspired Organ Concerto – all Gothic flourishes and grand gestures. Also gazing back to the Baroque, Stravinsky’s Symphony of Psalms is a devout musical gesture, reimagining religious rituals on a symphonic scale. The second half pairs two Classical masterpieces: Haydn’s cheery Te Deum and Mozart’s enduringly popular ‘Jupiter’ Symphony.

Tickets from £7.50 - £38.

An eclectic jamboree under Thomas Søndergård

David Truslove, 22nd July

The celebratory, cerebral and contradictory elements inherent in this diverse programme of Haydn, Mozart, Poulenc and Stravinsky didn’t quite disguise some uneven performances in Søndergård’s third prom concert.
