Prom 67: Last Night of the Proms 1910

with the BBC Concert Orchestra

Sunday 05 September 2010, 2.30pm

Royal Albert Hall, Royal Albert Hall Kensington Gore, London SW7 2AP

To open our day long tribute to Proms founder-conductor Henry Wood, we present his own Last Night programme from a century ago – so producing the first Proms season ever to feature two Last Nights. While this parade of short popular classics truly recalls Promenade concerts of another age, we also continue Wood's commitment to new works – what Wood called his 'novelties'. So one short cello piece from the original 1910 programme is replaced by a brand-new work.
