BBC Proms - Dvořák’s ‘New World’ Symphony

BBC Proms – Dvořák’s ‘New World’ Symphony The BBC Symphony Orchestra, under Sakari Oramo’s energetic baton, delivers a masterful concert film that celebrates both emerging talent and enduring repertoire. Three 2016 finalists of the BBC Young Musician competition—Jess Gillam on saxophone, Ben Goldscheider on horn, and Sheku Kanneh‑Mason on cello—reunite a decade later to premiere Gwilym Simcock’s vibrant Triple Concerto, commissioned by the BBC and full of rhythmic energy and joy. Their performance is complemented by Benjamin Britten’s colourful “The Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra” (a 1946 companion to a British educational film featured in the Oscar‑nominated *Moonrise Kingdom*) and the spirited folk‑inspired warmth of Antonín Dvořák’s Symphony No. 9 in E minor, “From the New World.” Witness this dynamic program that bridges youthful promise and timeless classics in a breathtaking concert‑film experience.
