Prom 9

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
Evocations of Nordic forests, Persian gardens and
snow-capped mountains feature in Thomas
Søndergård’s first Prom as Principal Conductor
of tonight’s orchestra. Wilhelm Stenhammar’s 1896
symphonic overture Excelsior! leads into the opulent
sound-world of Karol Syzmanowski’s Symphony
No. 3, ‘The Song of the Night’. A journey from
just before dawn and into the
following night, Richard Strauss’s
Alpine Symphony is as much a
statement of the composer’s
personal philosophy as a
description of the natural world at
its most dramatic.

Tickets £7.50 - £36.
