Felix Klieser Plays Mozart at the Proms

Virtuoso horn player Felix Klieser, who was born without arms and plays the instrument with his toes, makes his Proms debut with Mozart’s sunny Concerto No 4.

Virtuoso horn player Felix Klieser, who was born without arms and plays the instrument with his toes, makes his Proms debut with Mozart’s sunny Concerto No 4.

Kirill Karabits conducts the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra as they plot a kaleidoscopic musical journey across Europe with tales of friendship, homeland and the emotive power of music.

Bursting with some of his most beautiful and heartfelt melodies, Rachmaninov’s sweeping Second Symphony continues the celebration of what would have been the composer’s 150th birthday.

Music by the conductor’s father opens the concert - Ivan Karabits’ first Concerto for Orchestra. Written to mark the 1,500th anniversary of the founding of Kyiv, it’s a colourful orchestral soundscape evoking chiming bells and a city in happier times.

Petroc Trelawny presents joined by special guest Hannah French.
