| Performance Notes | After a stunning debut at last years First Night of the Proms, South African soprano Masabane Cecilia Rangwanasha, winner of the Song Prize at the 2021 Cardiff Singer of the World, returns to perform in Richard Strausss Four Last Songs luminous musical farewells to life, love and a changing world.
Drawn from the UKs finest teenage musicians, the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain also performs Hindemiths jovial reworking of themes by Weber, before crossing the Atlantic for Coplands lyrical Symphony No. 3 very symphonic and very jazzy, according to Leonard Bernstein which incorporates his much-loved Fanfare for the Common Man as a springboard for its final movement.
