Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment - T0382777347In the first of his three appearances this season, Sir Simon Rattle evokes two pairs of history's most symbolic lovers - contrasting Berlioz's response to Shakespeare, and Wagner's to a medieval Celtic legend (the latter featuring two of today's leading Wagner singers, Ben Heppner and Violeta Urmana). Rattle has a long-standing relationship with the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, and together they offer a chance to hear two great romantic scores performed on instruments of the period. Finish time: approx. 20:30Conductor Simon Rattle (Sir). Company Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment. Performer Violeta Urmana (Isolde). Performer Ben Heppner (Tristan).

Evolution! - T01274174320CBBC presenters Barney Harwood and Gemma Hunt unleash a natural selection of creatures in this child-friendly Prom inspired by the 200th anniversary of Charles Darwin's birth. Conductor Charles Hazlewood leads us from prehistoric Earth to outer space in John Williams's soundtracks to Jurassic Park and Star Wars - and uncover the bird kingdom (with Delius's On Hearing the First Cuckoo in Spring) and insect life (in Arvo Pärt’s If Bach had been a Beekeeper). Britten's 'Storm' interlude from his opera Peter Grimes represents the primal elements before the arrival of animals, while Copland's Fanfare for the Common Man anticipates the collective human spirit. Plus, there's a new beginning, as DJ and drum-and-bass producer Goldie (runner-up of last year’s BBC Two Maestro competition) reveals a specially written, Darwin-inspired work - his first ever for a classical orchestra. There will be one interval. Approx. end time 13:00Performer Barney Harwood (presenter). Performer Gemma Hunt (presenter). Performer David Attenborough (Sir - special guest). Company BBC Concert Orchestra. Conductor Charles Hazlewood. | |
