About This Event

Former BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artist Sean Shibe has been breaking down musical boundaries and winning awards since he erupted onto the classical music scene almost a decade ago. Now the young guitarist makes his much-anticipated Proms debut, joining forces with flautist Adam Walker and mezzo-soprano Wallis Giunta for a concert celebrating the centenaries of two Argentine composers. Songs by Ariel Ramírez follow Astor Piazzolla’s Histoire du tango – tracing the dance’s colourful history from its origins in the bordellos of Buenos Aires via cafés and nightclubs to the contemporary concert hall.

There will be no interval
