Programme

Concert Information

A great music festival should always have a party to end with and the Last Night of the Proms has become one of the best-known and best-loved musical events of the international calendar.

Featuring much-loved classics from Shostakovich and Debussy, Proms soloist Benjamin Grosvenor performs Saint-Saëns’s Second Piano Concerto, described by one contemporary wit as ‘starting with Bach and ending with Offenbach’; the Â鶹ԼÅÄ Singers join the orchestra for Handel’s most popular anthem, Zadok the Priest, written for the Coronation of King George II in 1727, and virtuoso oud player Joseph Tawadros gives the world premiere of his new work, hot on the heels of his quartet’s late-night Â鶹ԼÅÄ Proms Dubai concert of jazz-traditional fusion.

Add to this the traditional musical elements of the Last Night – Henry Wood’s Fantasia on British Sea-Songs and Elgar’s Pomp and Circumstance March No. 1 – with the whole evening presided over by Edward Gardner, a frequent guest both of the Â鶹ԼÅÄ Proms and the Â鶹ԼÅÄ Symphony Orchestra – and you have an unmissable event to mark the culmination of the first Â鶹ԼÅÄ Proms Dubai festival.
