A day at the Proms - Sound of Space

Celebrate a decade of extraordinary music with A Day at the Proms: Sound of Space! Join us for a very special anniversary program as we reach for the stars and explore the captivating question: What does space sound like? Marking ten years of this beloved concert series, we also pay tribute to the 150th anniversary of Gustav Holst, one of Britain’s most celebrated composers. Prepare for an intergalactic journey blending classical masterpieces, iconic film scores, and surprising genre crossovers. Witness the evocative power of Holst’s “The Planets,” a cosmic exploration of mythical realms, alongside beloved themes from John Williams’ "Star Wars" and "Darth Vader," Hans Zimmer’s “Dune,” John Barry’s “Moonraker,” and Henry Mancini’s unforgettable melodies. Can Johann Strauss’s “Danube Waltz” find its place amongst the stars? Experience the richness of over a hundred musicians as we traverse the musical landscape, seamlessly weaving together swing, pop, and everything in between. And for our loyal fans, don't worry – we're returning to the legendary Royal Albert Hall for a rousing finale, ready to rock, honk, cry, and celebrate in truly "very British" style.
