Proms 2025

Late Night Proms

This year's nine Late Night Proms offer an eclectic range of musical styles that reflects the more intimate setting of these ‘after-hours’ events. Ranging from the sound-worlds of traditional and contemporary Cuba and Jamaica to the National Youth Jazz Orchestra, and from Youssou Ndour to exploring Shostokovich with Tom Service and the Aurora Orchestra.

      Royal Albert Hall

      On Sir Peter Maxwell Davies’s 80th birthday, the Proms pays tribute in a concert of works selected by the composer himself. The concert overture Ebb of Winter captures the rugged beauty of Davies’s Orkney home. We see a different side of island life in the joyous ebullience of his Orkney Wedding, with Sunrise; the virtuosic fourth Strathclyde Concerto, for clarinet and orchestra, completes the concert.
