Proms 2014 Prom 36: Vaughan Williams & Alwyn

18:30 Wed 13 Aug 2014 Royal Albert Hall

The dreamy pastoralism of Vaughan Williams鈥檚 The Lark Ascending contrasts with the jaunty vigour of the composer鈥檚 overture The Wasps in this all-English Prom. Job continues this season鈥檚 thread of great 20th-century ballet scores, while William Alwyn鈥檚 First Symphony adds to the evening鈥檚 nostalgia with the endless melody of its slow movement. Janine Jansen joins Sakari Oramo and the 大象传媒 Symphony Orchestra as soloist.

About this event

Following his thrilling performance of A Sea Symphony at last year鈥檚 First Night of the Proms, Sakari Oramo 鈥� a longtime champion of English music 鈥� returns with more Vaughan Williams.

Ahead of her Last Night appearance, violinist Janine Jansen joins Oramo for that quintessentially English work The Lark Ascending, its dreamy pastoralism balanced by the jaunty charm and vigour of The Wasps overture.

Job continues this season鈥檚 thread of great 20th-century ballet scores, while William Alwyn鈥檚 rarely heard First Symphony adds to the evening鈥檚 nostalgia with the endless melody of its slow movement.
