Casella's powerful "Heroic Elegy", dedicated to the "unknown soldier", opens the concert and continues this year's Proms series of works written in the shadow of the First World War. Former ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 3 New Generation Artist Benjamin Grosvenor joins the orchestra for Chopin's lyrical but virtuosic First Piano Concerto and, after the interval, returns as soloist in Franck's Symphonic Variations. Saint-SaΓ«ns's thrilling journey from darkness to blazing light, the "Organ" Symphony, closes the programme.

This Prom will be repeated on Thursday 14th August at 2pm.
