About This Event

Switzerland’s longest-established orchestra, the Tonhalle-Orchester Zürich, makes a welcome return to the Proms with Tchaikovsky’s passionate Violin Concerto (featuring soloist August Hadelich) and Dvořák’s nostalgic ‘New World’ Symphony, drawing on the African American and Native American melodies he heard during his three years as director of New York’s National Conservatory for Music. The evening opens with Beethoven’s The Consecration of the House, a heartfelt homage to the composer’s musical forefathers, Handel and Bach.
