Euphoric. Ambitious. An exploration of music and sound.

Who’s on stage

The ever-eclectic conductor and arranger Robert Ames teams up with home orchestra Royal Northern Sinfonia to kick off this year’s BBC Proms festivities in Gateshead. He’s a familiar face at The Glasshouse now. You might have seen him at the Proms with Self Esteem and Jordan Rakei, The Sound of Space concert recently, or even conducting Philip Glass’ The Bowie Symphonies back in 2022. Keep your eyes peeled because we’ll soon be revealing the global superstar completing this incredible line-up.

What they’re playing

We’re keeping the set list in a safe under lock and key for a little while longer. Pop back soon to find out.

This Prom will be broadcast live on BBC Radio 3 and recorded for future broadcast on BBC TV.
