Proms 2021: The BBC Philharmonic

Another chance to hear John Storgårds, the BBC Philharmonic and Liza Ferschtman perform Schumann's Third Symphony, Byström's Parallel Universes and Sibelius's Violin Concerto.

Ian Skelly introduces another chance to hear the BBC Philharmonic with Chief Guest Conductor John Storgårds, as part of this year's Proms, in Schumann's Symphony No. 3 and Britta Byström's 'Parallel Universes', a piece commissioned by the BBC, inspired by cosmologist Max Tegmark’s notion of a ‘hierarchical multiverse’. Liza Ferschtman joins them, making her Proms debut, for Sibelius's Violin Concerto. The Prom is presented by Petroc Trelawny, from the Royal Albert Hall, in London.
