BBC Proms: Words and Music
For the first time ever, we’re going to be performing at the BBC Proms! Not in London, but at home in Wales for the first ever BBC Prom at Theatr Clwyd in Mold.
Our concert dives head–first into the rich world of Welsh music and folklore, with music accompanied by prose and poetry readings in both Welsh and English. At its heart lies The Mabinogion, Wales’s epic collection of fantastical tales, featuring dragons, monsters and knights.
For this concert, our orchestra of 31 talented under–30 musicians is joined by conductor Iwan Davies, the Artistic Director of Musicfest Aberystwyth, one of Wales’s leading music festivals, where he curates an exciting and diverse programme of artists from around the world.
The concert will also be broadcast live on BBC Radio 3 and available via BBC Sounds, including on demand.
British Sign Language Interpreted
