2016x01 First Night of the Proms - Part One (BBC TWO)

  • 2016-07-15T20:00:00Z3h

Tchaikovsky’s ravishing 'Romeo and Juliet' overture launches our celebrations marking 400 years since the death of Shakespeare.

Argentine soloist Sol Gabetta makes her Proms debut in Elgar’s hauntingly lyrical Cello Concerto, the first in a series of works throwing a spotlight on the instrument.

Prokofiev delivered a score of new directness and clarity for his friend Sergey Eisenstein’s patriotic film Alexander Nevsky: the cantata he fashioned from it features the dramatic ‘Battle on the Ice’.

CBeebies favourites take a musical journey through the countryside, around the world, back in time and into space with the BBC Concert Orchestra and conductor Jessica Cottis. Enjoy inspirational classical pieces and CBeebies themes while joining in with Andy, Cat, Chris, Gem, Rebecca, Mr Bloom and Mr William Shakespeare at the Royal Albert Hall.
