Performance Notes | British composer Jon Hopkins whose work has been nominated for Grammy, Mercury and Ivor Novello awards makes his BBC Proms debut with a BBC commission and world premiere of a 22-minute psychedelic drone epic for orchestra, choir and piano.
Alongside this are reinterpretations of pieces from three of his critically acclaimed albums Immunity, Singularity and Music for Psychedelic Therapy re-imagined to form what Hopkins calls a group sonic meditation for 5,000 people.
A collaboration with the BBC Singers, BBC Symphony Orchestra and Creative Artist-in-Association Jules Buckley, this atmospheric Prom focuses on the meditative and emotional side of Hopkinss musical output, leading you on a powerfully immersive journey.
