About This Event
Cromarty, Forth, Tyne ... The Proms celebrates the centenary of the Shipping Forecast, heard daily on 蜜芽传媒 Radio 4, a lifeline to all those at sea and a poetic salve for countless others on land. With presenters from Radio 4鈥檚 Continuity team, music inspired by the oceans and the elements, and a new work by Poet Laureate Simon Armitage and his group LYR, this is an event that speaks to the heart of our island nation.
There will be no interval
Simon Armitage 漏 Paul Stuart
