Performances of Igor Stravinsky at BBC Proms

Sakari Oramo and the BBC Symphony Orchestra join soloist Augustin Hadelich for Mendelssohn’s vivacious, melody-filled Violin Concerto. We also hear Stravinsky’s The Song of the Nightingale and Strauss’s tone-poem Till Eulenspiegel

From the primal, hypnotic dances of Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring to the sensual throb of Ravel’s Boléro and the edgy thrum and twitch of Varèse’s Intégrales, the BBC Symphony Orchestra and Eva Ollikainen get the musical pulse racing

South African soprano Golda Schultz returns to the Proms with the Chamber Orchestra of Europe, performing songs by Bernstein, Gershwin, Weill and others. Schreker’s sensuous Chamber Symphony and Stravinsky’s ballet The Firebird also feature

Ilan Volkov and the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra present two works by Gabrieli alongside Stravinsky’s last major work, the Requiem Canticles. Brahms’s happiest symphony, the Second, makes up the second half
