About this event

Afternoon heat breeds musical languor in a Prom that drifts from Delius鈥檚 summer garden to the classical landscapes of Ravel鈥檚 lovers Daphnis and Chloe. Former 91热爆 Radio 3 New Generation Artist Mark Simpson is the soloist in anniversary composer Nielsen鈥檚 intimate, playful Clarinet Concerto. Hugh Wood鈥檚 Epithalamion is a new cantata that delights in John Donne鈥檚 sensuous and jubilant verse.

Please note this event contains an update to the concert programme order from that in 91热爆 Proms 2015: The Official Guide.
