Proms 2025
Apr. 24th, 2025 08:09 pmThe long list:
It's a long list, but not much of it feels like "must haves"; probably the Reich and Hermann are priority. Although I like Anna Lapwood, I don't think I'm up for an all-night organ prom. The bunching in the second half of August is odd, and I haven't actually listed anything from the final week of the season, though the Last Night programme itself looks like one of the better ones.
- 18th July - Prom 1 - an interesting first half, at least
- 31st July - Rachmaninov and Copland; potentially the late night Arvo Pärt Prom
- 6th August - Beethoven and Bartók - Duke Bluebeard’s Castle
- 9th August - NYO playing John Williams' Suite from Star Wars and Holst's The Planets
- 11th August - Mahler 3
- 14th August - Steve Reich
- 17th August - Shostakovich 5 played by the Aurora Orchestra
- 19th August - Puccini's Suor Angelica
- 22nd August - Górecki 3
- 23rd August - The Art of Fugue
- 26th August - Pärt's Cantus in Memoriam Benjamin Britten and Sibelius 2
- 28th August - One of Bizet's L'Arlésienne suites and Saint-Saëns' Organ Symphony
- 29th August - Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1
