From Dark till Dawn
Highlights from the 2025 season of ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Proms.
A chance to experience the Proms’ main home, the Royal Albert Hall in London, at its most magical: we’ll sample a series of performances extending from midnight to beyond the dawn chorus. Among the performers are the dynamic Norwegian ensemble Barokksolistene who create a tavern-like mood with traditional songs and dances, the Japanese pianist Hayato Sumino who makes his Proms debut with his own arrangement of Ravel’s Bolero for two pianos, and the aptly-named singer-songwriter Sleeping at Last.
Rajan Datar and Alice Farnham introduce this ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Proms concert.
