Prom 75: Last Night of the Proms

The Last Night of the Proms from 2013, with mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato, violinist Nigel Kennedy and the 大象传媒 Symphny Orchestra and Chorus under Marin Alsop.

Marin Alsop takes charge of her first Last Night of the Proms at the Royal Albert Hall in London. Nigel Kennedy and Joyce DiDonato are the star soloists with the 大象传媒 Symphony Orchestra and Chorus.

The 2013 Last Night began with a celebratory new work by Anna Clyne and includes a rare performance of Britten's 1967 overture for chorus and orchestra, The Building of The House, a touch of Broadway magic and the sound of a glass ceiling being broken as Marin Alsop took charge of her first Last Night. Nigel Kennedy and Joyce DiDonato are the star soloists in a programme that picks up sea-faring themes from Bantock and George Lloyd and includes a transatlantic flavour.

Presented by Sean Rafferty and Suzy Klein
