Last Night of the Proms, Part One

Katie Derham introduces the final concert of the 2016 大象传媒 Proms. The celebrations are led by the 大象传媒 Symphony Orchestra and Chorus and the 大象传媒 Singers, with conductor Sakari Oramo.

Live from the Royal Albert Hall, Katie Derham introduces the final concert of the 2016 大象传媒 Proms.

The celebrations are led by the combined forces of the 大象传媒 Symphony Orchestra and Chorus and the 大象传媒 Singers, with Finnish chief conductor Sakari Oramo, who returns to conduct the Last Night of the Proms for the second time. Peruvian tenor Juan Diego Florez is the star soloist, bringing some sparkling arias from the operas of Rossini, Donizetti and Offenbach.

Also on the programme is the world premiere of a piece by young Scottish composer Tom Harrold, written for and performed by the Proms Youth Ensemble, along with players from the 大象传媒 Symphony Orchestra. We also hear Borodin's exuberant Polovtsian Dances, Britten's Matin茅es musicales, Butterworth's The Banks of Green Willow, and Jonathan Dove's Our revels now are ended, with baritone Duncan Rock.
