Yuja Wang Plays Rachmaninov at the Proms

Power couple Yuja Wang and conductor Klaus Mäkelä return to the Royal Albert Hall for one of the most eagerly awaited nights of the season.

Following their breathtaking performance at last year’s Proms, power couple Yuja Wang and conductor Klaus Mäkelä return to the Royal Albert Hall for one of the most eagerly awaited nights of the season. This time, the superstar pianist and hotshot conductor will dazzle us with Rachmaninov’s Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini – a piece at once both devilish and heavenly that showcases Yuja’s extraordinary talent.

Then, baritone Thomas Hampson joins the ´óÏó´«Ã½ Symphony Orchestra and Chorus and the famous Royal Albert Hall organ in Walton’s immense Belshazzar’s Feast.

Georgia Mann presents with special guests Wayne Marshall and Hannah Catherine Jones.
