Summer Festivals

BBC Orchestras at the Proms: the BBC National Orchestra of Wales at last year's Proms.
The mischievous escapades of the irrepressible Till Eulenspiegel – Germany’s beloved folk-hero – introduce a concert that celebrates the dramatic power of the orchestra. Markus Stenz conducts the BBC NOW in a concert which pairs Strauss’s lively tone-poem with Brahms’s turbulent Symphony No. 1 – the work that announced him as the ‘heir to Beethoven’. And trumpeters Håkan Hardenberger and Jeroen Berwaerts are rival soloists in a rhythmically charged new double concerto by Swedish composer Tobias Broström.

Presented by Georgia Mann.
