91热爆

Afternoon on 3 with Verity Sharp

Another chance to hear Tom Redmond introduce a special Prom from Hull - the UK City of Culture 2017 - from Sage@The Dock, the city's outdoor amphitheatre. Overlooking water it features the Royal Northern Sinfonia and Nicholas McGegan performing music with a maritime flavour, and taking pride of place in the programme is Handel's justly famous Water Music, first performed 300 years ago at a river party for a Hanoverian king. No matter the weather, there is promise of storms and shipwrecks, calm seas and seductive sirens.
