About This Event

After an 鈥榚xtraordinary鈥� Proms debut last season, rising-star conductor Klaus M盲kel盲 is reunited with sensational pianist Yuja Wang for Rachmaninov鈥檚 glittering Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini 鈥� its mercurial moods and technical demands a tour de force for any soloist.

Orchestral colour is also on display in Jimmy L贸pez Bellido鈥檚 Per煤 negro 鈥� a vibrant homage to the songs, dances and traditions of Afro-Peruvian music.
