Performance NotesFor their only UK appearance of 2024, Sam Smith joins the BBC Concert Orchestra for a retrospective look at their seminal debut solo album In the Lonely Hour. Ten years on from its original release, the album’s autobiographical tracks on the theme of unrequited love are reimagined with full orchestral support. In tracks such as ‘Stay With Me’, ‘Lay Me Down’ and other songs from Sam Smith’s later work, expect the singer’s unmatched voice and raw honesty to feature front and centre.

Broadcast live on BBC Radio 3. Broadcast on BBC Two and BBC iPlayer this season.
