About This Event

Guitarist Milo拧 Karadagli膰 is the soloist in a new concerto written especially for him by Joby Talbot. Taking inspiration from Karadagli膰鈥檚 Montenegrin heritage, Talbot鈥檚 typically rhythmic piece incorporates Balkan dances into its propulsive flow.

Dance also runs through both Glinka鈥檚 heat-soaked Summer Night in Madrid, accompanied by pulsing castanets, and the expansive waltzes of Tchaikovsky鈥檚 ballet The Nutcracker, whose complete Act 1 is here performed for the first time at the Proms.
