BBC Proms 2024 46 Sibelius, Lara Poe, Holst - 25 August 2024 HDTV 


Prom 46: Holst’s The Planets
Royal Albert Hall, London UK
Sunday 25 August 2024


Some phenomena only music can depict. From an age before space travel, Gustav Holst’s orchestral suite evoking the astrological associations of the planets represents one of classical music’s most extraordinary acts of imagination.

Before heading into space, we are lured into the wilderness courtesy of music from conductor Sakari Oramo’s home country of Finland. The looping repetitions of Sibelius’s The Wood Nymph lead us shaman-like into a seductive woodland, while Lara Poe’s brand new work for soprano and orchestra channels haunting Nordic cow-calling traditions.

Student musicians from Helsinki and London unite for a Prom all about music’s conjuring power.
