With Penny Gore

A second chance to hear the opening concert of the 2011 Proms, featuring works by Brahms and Liszt performed by the 大象传媒 Symphony Orchestra and Chorus, and a starry line-up of soloists - all under the baton of Jiri Belohlavek.

On the programme of this year's opening concert, a new work by leading British composer Judith Weir (a short choral and orchestral fanfare based on the four words of the title: Stars, Night, Music and Light), Brahms's festive overture and Liszt's virtuosic concerto performed by young British pianist Benjamin Grosvenor. Plus Belohlavek also leads the orchestra, chorus and soloists in Janacek's extraordinary celebration of Slavic culture. Petroc Trelawny presents.
