Night of The Proms

At the Night of the Proms, pop, rock, and the classical concert tradition come together. Well-known songs aren’t simply performed as they are, but are specially arranged for symphony orchestra, choir, and band.

The large ensemble lends familiar melodies new timbres: strings and winds engage in a dialogue with electric guitars, drums, and the voices of rotating soloists. Calm passages and orchestral moments alternate with powerful rock and pop songs. The result is not a traditional symphony concert, but an elaborately staged show that blends different musical styles. The annually changing lineup of participating musicians ensures that this established concert format continually offers fresh musical highlights.
