About This Event
Celebrated classical and film composer Joe Hisaishi makes his Proms debut conducting the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra in two large-scale works exploring themes of destruction and loss. The cinematic soundscapes of Hisaishi鈥檚 own The End of the World are set against the restless electric pulse and shimmer of Steve Reich鈥檚 The Desert Music 鈥� a scorched-earth vision of a post-nuclear wasteland.
