BBC Proms: Nadine Shah and Royal Northern Sinfonia
Raw. Soulful. Strings hit hard.

What's happening in the music?
This is what happens when two worlds collide.
Nadine Shah’s songs carry a deep, spiritual intensity. Sometimes sparse. Sometimes intense. Always direct.
Now opened up even further, reworked with orchestra, adding new depth, colour and space. One minute, it feels expansive. The next, completely stripped back.
Big emotions. No filter.
