The BBC Proms travels out of London, to Hull - UK City of Culture 2017 - for a site-specific performance of music inspired by water, centering on Handel's Water Music suites, first performed 300 years ago at a river party for George I on the Thames.
Pioneering early music expert Nicholas McGegan directs the Royal Northern Sinfonia at Stage@TheDock - Hull's outdoor amphitheatre - in a programme featuring everything from storms and shipwrecks to calm seas and seductive sirens.
