Rufus Wainwright
³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Concert Orchestra
conductor Sarah Hicks

Rufus Wainwright brings his signature brand of ‘Baroque pop’ back to the Proms in the first of two concerts with the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Concert Orchestra and conductor Sarah Hicks. The Canadian-American singer, songwriter and composer’s 2003 album Want One draws on everything from opera to cabaret, chanson and jazz. Here, it is presented in brand new symphonic arrangements created specially for the Proms. The concert contains language some listeners may find offensive.
