| Performance Notes | In the centenary year of the end of the First World War, the World Orchestra for Peace founded by Georg Solti as an expression of international musical harmony returns to the Proms with one of classical musics most potent statements of brotherhood and fellowship, Beethovens Ninth Symphony.
Composed in the shadow of the Second World War, Brittens Sinfonia da Requiem adds its own emotive warning against war.
The concert opens with the world premiere of a new, First World War-themed work by Latvian composer Eriks Eenvalds, commissioned for the talented young singers of the BBC Proms Youth Choir. |
