First Night of the Proms

ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Proms 2024

Clive Myrie and Sandi Toksvig kick off eight weeks of amazing music. The first concert sees an all-female line-up in a dazzling programme which includes Beethoven’s 5th Symphony.

Clive Myrie and special guests launch the 2024 ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Proms season with Beethoven’s famous Fifth Symphony. A dazzling all-female line-up features pianist extraordinaire Isata Kanneh-Mason, superstar soprano Sophie Bevan and acclaimed conductor Elim Chan.

Elim, conducting her First Night debut, kicks off eight weeks of glorious music with an electrifying programme that also includes Handel’s Music for Royal Fireworks and a world premiere from 27-year-old composer Ben Nobuto.

Sophie Bevan makes a triumphant return to the Proms with Bruckner’s jubilant Psalm 150, and Isata Kanneh-Mason performs a tender and lyrical piano concerto by Clara Schumann, a composer she has championed tirelessly.

They’re joined by the ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Symphony Orchestra, ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Symphony Chorus and ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Singers.
