Prom 76: Last Night of the Proms

The Last Night of the Proms at the Royal Albert Hall with the 成人论坛 Symphony Orchestra, conductor Sakari Oramo, violinist Janine Jansen and baritone Roderick Williams.

The Last Night of the Proms at the Royal Albert Hall with the 成人论坛 Symphony Orchestra, conductor Sakari Oramo, star violinist Janine Jansen and baritone Roderick Williams.

Presented by Sean Rafferty and Suzy Klein

Sakari Oramo directs his first Last Night, joined by star Dutch violinist Janine Jansen.
We pay tribute to the late John Tavener with his touching Song for Athene, and mark the 50th anniversary of the film Mary Poppins with a singalong medley.
Arnold's Peterloo overture receives its first performance in a new choral version with lyrics by Sir Tim Rice, while our Richard Strauss anniversary celebrations conclude with the Proms premiere of the composer's massive cantata Taillefer.
The nautical flavour of Ansell's Plymouth Hoe (and its brief quotation of Rule, Britannia!) forms an upbeat to the traditional Last Night favourites, led by baritone Roderick Williams.
