BBC Concert Orchestra
Conductor Anna-Maria Helsing

There’s a strong local feel to the first visit by the Proms to one of the country’s finest acoustics, the Royal Concert Hall in Nottingham. Anna-Maria Helsing leads the BBC Concert Orchestra in music that celebrates the derring-do of local hero Robin Hood, as imagined in film scores by both Erich Korngold and Doreen Carwithen. Nottingham native Clare Hammond takes on Rachmaninov’s devilish Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini and we hear a brand-new work by composer Elizabeth Kelly, Head of the University of Nottingham’s Music Department. All that is rounded off by a symphony of ecological awakening from Helsing’s Finnish compatriot Jean Sibelius.

Presented by Elizabeth Alker.
