Mary Anne Hobbs of BBC Radio 6 Music presents an evening exploring the borderlands of classical music, with the pioneers of a new generation of musicians who draw on contemporary electronic influences. Piano and keyboard virtuoso Nils Frahm makes his Proms debut, as does atmospheric duo A Winged Victory for the Sullen, and together they create an exclusive centrepiece collaboration.
Mary Anne Hobbs on Nile Frahm's 'Says'; "'Says' is a song with magical properties. It feels like Niles has taken the complex textures of what love could be and transposed them into sound - it resonates with a global audience. The Proms will be an immersive and cerebral experience, but seek out Frahm's hip hop jams if you want to dance." (Time Out, 28 July 2015)
