Mendelssohn鈥檚 enchanting music in an exciting, modern semi-staged production of Shakespeare鈥檚 masterpiece, Mozart鈥檚 famous Clarinet Concerto and for the first time at the Proms, a work by much overlooked romantic composer Mel Bonis.
Bonis鈥檚 Salom茅 kicks off the concert - a musical portrayal of the biblical figure, full of sensual and mysterious sounds. Then, American clarinettist Anthony McGill performs Mozart鈥檚 Clarinet Concerto, one of his most popular works.
