³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ

Holst’s suite The Planets is one of classical music’s most extraordinary acts of imagination. Student musicians from Helsinki and London unite to perform the work alongside Sibelius’s The Wood Nymph and a new piece from Finnish-American composer Lara Poe.

The ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Symphony Orchestra present an all-British Prom, with Elgar’s ‘Cockaigne’ overture, Holst’s Hammersmith and Vaughan Williams’s A London Symphony featuring alongside a selection of Stanford’s songs performed by baritone Christopher Maltman

In Holst’s 150th-anniversary year, the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Symphony Orchestra and Chorus perform his masterpiece The Cloud Messenger. We also hear Elgar’s ever-popular Cello Concerto, with Senja Rummukainen as soloist, and Jonathan Harvey’s Tranquil Abiding

United on stage for the first time, British choral groups The King’s Singers and VOCES8 present a Prom that mingles pop classics with classical, showcasing their world-class close-harmony singing.
