About This Event
An all-French programme whose first half 鈥� 150 years after the composer鈥檚 death 鈥� celebrates the bright, exotic colours conjured by Bizet. As well as a suite from his incidental music for 鈥楾he Girl from Arles鈥�, we hear the fantasy for violin and orchestra featuring music 鈥� including the famous 鈥楬abanera鈥� 鈥� from his best-loved opera, reimagined with explosive virtuosity by Sarasate. South Korean violinist Inmo Yang makes his Proms debut in the seductive, mercurial mantle of Bizet鈥檚 Gypsy-heroine. Saint-Sa毛ns鈥檚 spectacular Symphony No. 3 puts the 9,999 pipes of the Royal Albert Hall organ (nicknamed the 鈥榁oice of Jupiter鈥�) in the spotlight at the climax of this monumental work, and there鈥檚 more musical drama from gods and sea monsters in Augusta Holm猫s鈥檚 tone-poem 础苍诲谤辞尘猫诲别.
