Sao Paulo Symphony Orchestra

The Sao Paulo Symphony Orchestra perform Marlos Nobre's Kabbalah, Grieg's Piano Concerto, Villa-Lobos's Bachianas Brasileiras and Rachmaninov's Symphonic Dances.

The Proms festival celebrates the Rio 2016 Olympics with a visit from Brazil's Sao Paulo Symphony Orchestra, conducted by their musical director Marin Alsop.

In what is sure to be a vibrant night, the concert gets off the mark with the UK premiere of Marlos Nobre's Kabbalah, followed by one of the most cherished pieces of classical music in the world - Grieg's Piano Concerto, with soloist Gabriela Montero.

A movement from Villa-Lobos's Bachianas Brasileiras lends a distinctly Latin flavour to proceedings before the swirling sounds of Rachmaninov's Symphonic Dances take us to the finishing line.
