Our Tours & Projects department will return to the Proms once again, this year bringing five outstanding ensembles to the festival:

Further delights include Schoenberg’s rarely performed cantata Gurre-Lieder on the 19 August, conducted by Sir Simon Rattle and featuring Simon O’Neill. Sir András Schiff will perform Book 1 of Bach’s The Well-Tempered Clavier on the 7 September, to be continued at the Proms next year when he will complete the cycle with Book 2. On 19 July, Alisa Weilerstein will give the UK premiere of Dusapin’s Cello Concerto Outscape, written exclusively for her, and conducted by her brother Joshua Weilerstein. Edward Gardner will conduct the First Night of the Proms, and Lucy Crowe and Christine Rice will help end the festivities at the Last Night of the Proms with a performance of Kodály’s Te Deum with the BBC Symphony Orchestra.
