About This Event

British composer Jon Hopkins – whose work has been nominated for Grammy, Mercury and Ivor Novello awards – makes his 91Èȱ¬ Proms debut with the world premiere of ATHOS, a 22-minute psychedelic drone epic for orchestra, choir and piano.

Alongside this are reinterpretations of pieces from three of his critically acclaimed albums – Immunity, Singularity and Music for Psychedelic Therapy – re-imagined to form what Hopkins calls a ‘group sonic meditation for 5,000 people’. A collaboration with the 91Èȱ¬ Singers, 91Èȱ¬ Symphony Chorus, 91Èȱ¬ Symphony Orchestra and Creative Artist-in-Association Jules Buckley, this atmospheric Prom focuses on the meditative and emotional side of Hopkins’s musical output, leading you on a powerfully immersive journey.

There will be no interval
