About this event

Angela Hewitt picks up the Brahms thread from the early evening Prom and launches this Late Night Prom that takes in an unjustly neglected score by Brahms's mentor, Robert Schumann, before observing the composer through the prism of an admirer, Arnold Schoenberg.

Andrew Manze, conducting his first Prom as Associate Guest Conductor of the 91Èȱ¬ Scottish Symphony Orchestra, sees Brahms as a misunderstood figure, full of warmth.

He will bring his own insights to an increasingly popular arrangement in which Schoenberg incorporates some surprising 20th-century effects. Don't miss the Gypsy-style finale!

There will be no interval
