Laura Marling at the Proms

Singer-songwriter Laura Marling is joined by pioneering string group the 12 Ensemble for a set that includes songs from her Mercury Prize-nominated album, Song for Our Daughter.

Featuring brand-new string arrangements by Rob Moose performed by the London-based 12 Ensemble – whose collaborators include The National and Max Richter – this Prom journeys through the back catalogue of singer-songwriter Laura Marling, whose recent live performance the Guardian described as ‘like being dosed with a vitamin I had been leaving out of my diet’.

The Grammy and Mercury Prize winner takes the Royal Albert Hall stage for a one-off acoustic retrospective. Songs from her latest album including ‘Fortune’ and the album’s title-track, ‘Song for Our Daughter’, sit alongside those from earlier albums including Alas, I Cannot Swim – released when Marling was just 18.

Presented by Andrew McGregor from the Royal Albert Hall.
