Last Night of the Proms - Part 1

Sep 13, 2014

Live from the Royal Albert Hall, Katie Derham introduces the final concert of the 2014 Proms season. The programme includes William Walton's Popular Song from Façade and Malcolm Arnold's overture Peterloo, receiving its first performance in a new choral version with lyrics by Sir Tim Rice. There is a tribute to the late Sir John Tavener with his iconic Song for Athene and the Strauss anniversary celebrations conclude with a performance of the composer's massive work Taillefer, with soloists Elizabeth Watts, John Daszak and Roderick Williams. Celebrated Dutch violinist Janine Jansen plays Chausson's evocative Poème and the concert begins with the world premiere of Velocity by young British composer Gavin Higgins. The BBC Symphony Orchestra and Chorus and the BBC Singers are conducted by Sakari Oramo, conducting the Last Night of the Proms for the first time.
