About This Event

Following on from the Hall茅鈥檚 Paris-inspired programme (Prom 16) comes a corresponding focus on London.

Andrew Manze and the 成人快手 Scottish Symphony Orchestra open with Haydn鈥檚 lively, assertive final symphony 鈥� composed and first performed in London during the composer鈥檚 second triumphant residency.

First performed in March 1914, Vaughan Williams鈥檚 A London Symphony evokes the chimes of Westminster, a chilly November in Bloomsbury and the bright lights of the Strand in a city that would soon be scarred by war.
