Performer: Andrew Rupp

Prom 22 was a surreal evening of music, centered around the UK première of Auerbach’s The Infant Minstrel and His Peculiar Menagerie.

Rameau's Castor et Pollux, his take on the Greek myth of two brothers so close that Pollux is prepared to descend into hell in the place of Castor, isn't exactly one of the standards of the repertoire.
