BBC Proms
Season 63 Episode 6 - Prom 20 - Stravinsky and Schumann
Stellar young conductor Yannick Nézet-Séguin makes his Proms debut with the Scottish Chamber Orchestra. The concert celebrates two anniversaries; the centenary year of Stravinsky's first collaboration with the Ballet Russes and the bicentenary of Mendelssohn's birth. The music from Pulcinella, one of Stravinsky's eleven ballets, will open the programme, followed by the ever popular Schumann Piano Concerto in A Minor played by Nicholas Angelich. Mendelssohn's Fifth Symphony provides the climax to the evening. Presented by Petroc Trelawny.
