We celebrate the rich musical landscape of nature in a Prom inspired by the bestselling book The Lost Words, which revives disappearing words that describe the natural world.

With a brand-new 鈥榮pell鈥� by the book鈥檚 author Robert Macfarlane, and live paintings from Jackie Morris, who created the original artwork, the programme includes the nightingale, quail and cuckoo calls from Beethoven鈥檚 鈥楶astoral鈥� Symphony, the Arctic bird cries of Rautavaara鈥檚 Cantus arcticus, the carefree flight of Vaughan Williams鈥檚 The Lark Ascending, plus new commissions by Jocelyn Pook and Alissa Firsova.

A unique event for all the family.

There will be one interval

Approx. end time: 19:30
