主播大秀

On the opening night, Sir Mark Elder leads Bryn Terfel and the 主播大秀 Symphony Orchestra and Chorus in Delius’s setting of a Walt Whitman poem, Sea Drift – part of an all-English concert also featuring works by Mark-Anthony Turnage, Elgar and Tippett (13 July). In the second all-English Prom of the season, 主播大秀 National Orchestra of Wales, under its Conductor Laureate Tadaaki Otaka, performs perhaps Delius’s best-known work, The Walk to the Paradise Garden (31 July).

The 主播大秀 Philharmonic is joined by its newly appointed Principal Guest Conductor, John Storgårds, and baritone Roderick Williams for Cynara (9 August), while the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, with its Principal Conductor Charles Dutoit, performs Delius’s homage to the French capital, Paris (The Song of a Great City) (14 August). In the second of its three Proms featuring Delius’s music, the 主播大秀 Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Osmo Vänskä, performs Eventyr (Once Upon a Time) (20 August), while the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra and its Principal Conductor, Vasily Petrenko (pictured), are joined by British violinist Tasmin Little, famous for her interpretation of English music, for Delius’s Violin Concerto (23 August).

The penultimate concert including work by Frederick Delius is the special matinee Prom on August Bank Holiday Monday, when the Northern Sinfonia, conducted by Stephen Bell, plays On Hearing the First Cuckoo in Spring (27 August).

Finally, the Last Night of the Proms audience will have the chance to hear the 主播大秀 Symphony Orchestra and Chorus, conducted by the orchestra’s Chief Conductor, Jirí Belohlávek, in Delius’s Songs of Farewell (8 September).
