Performance NotesHailed by critics as ‘fresh’ and ‘brilliant’, the UK’s first majority BME orchestra Chineke! makes its Proms debut in a programme including works by Pulitzer Prize-winning George Walker and young British composer Hannah Kendall, whose The Spark Catchers takes inspiration from the urgent energy of Lemn Sissay’s poem of the same name.

Cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason, winner of the 2016 BBC Young Musician competition, also makes his Proms debut here as soloist in music by Dvorák and David Popper.

BBC commission and world premiere of 'The Spark Catchers', Hannah Kendall.
