Hooray for Hollywood - T0566612239

A celebration of the Golden Age of Hollywood film musicals. Maida Vale Singers, John Wilson Orchestra and John Wilson (conductor). The appearances of John Wilson and his hand-picked, high-octane orchestra have been among the most sensational Proms events of recent years. Joined by a formidable line-up of today's vocal stars, they give what one critic has described as 'the auditory equivalent of a steam-clean' to another cache of show-stoppers. 'Hooray for Hollywood' takes us from the dawn of the talkies and the birth of the movie musical through to the 1960s. An extended sequence pays special tribute to the RKO films of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, who was born 100 years ago. There will be one interval. Finish time: approx. 21:35Company Maida Vale Singers. Company John Wilson Orchestra. Conductor John Wilson.

Tonhalle Orchestra Zurich - T0396099375

We welcome back US soprano Dawn Upshaw - who memorably made a chart-topping recording of Górecki's Symphony of Sorrowful Songs with tonight's conductor, David Zinman, in the early 1990s - to sing Osvaldo Golijov's acclaimed new work: an intense exploration of loss and consolation, in which the Argentine-born composer draws upon a ravishing range of colours to enhance the poetic imagery of four Schubert songs. Tonight's opener represents the more public face of Schubert, with the overture published as part of his incidental music to Helmina von Chézy's play Rosamunde. Dawn Upshaw returns after the interval to provide the angel's-eye view of Heaven at the end of Mahler's Fourth Symphony. Approx finish time: 21:00. Broadcast Live on BBC Two and BBC Radio 3. There will be an interval.Performer Dawn Upshaw (soprano). Company Tonhalle Orchestra Zurich. Conductor David Zinman.
