Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Proms 2007
Late Night Proms
Since their introduction in 1970, the Late Night Proms have established themselves as an
unmissable opportunity to hear a broader and more eclectic range of repertoire, and this
year is no exception.
Μύ The unique atmosphere of these concerts and their intensely
committed audiences makes the perfect platform for extraordinary events, from violin
virtuoso Maxim Vengerov dancing tango to the first performance in modern times of a
long-lost Mass in 40 and 60 parts by Alessandro Striggio.
Μύ
