Performance NotesA concert with a Nordic flavour from Edward Gardner and the Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra climaxes in Sibelius’s Second Symphony, whose folk-like melodies are a musical celebration of Finnish life and identity.

Violinist Alina Ibragimova is the soloist in Norwegian composer Rolf Wallin’s concerto (world premiere) – the second of two new violin concertos premiered this season (see also Prom 47).

And the evening opens with Wagner’s propulsive overture to The Flying Dutchman, an opera set along the coast of Norway from the orchestra’s base in Bergen.

There was no Prom 53. This Prom was originally Youssou N'dour and Le Super Etoile De Dakar on 21 August 2018. This was renamed as Prom 65A and was held on 31 August 2018.

A virtual reality Prom (Prom 53) was held at Imperial College student union on this day (21 August 2018) - Digital Photographs.
