The ultimate Romantic symphony, Rachmaninov’s Second has it all: heart-on- sleeve emotions, endless melodies, a slow- movement whose two rival themes eventually find themselves locked in a passionate embrace and a radiant finale. The BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra and Principal Guest Conductor Designate Delyana Lazarova are joined by former BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artist and ‘unrivalled musician’ Anastasia Kobekina for Shostakovich’s supremely demanding Cello Concerto No. 1. The Prom opens with dawn breaking on a spring morning in Lili Boulanger’s vivid tone-poem D’un matin de printemps.
Seats from £11 to £56 (plus booking fee). On sale 17 May 2025.
