Singer-songwriter Laura Marling is joined by pioneering string group the 12 Ensemble for a set that includes songs from her Mercury Prize-nominated album, Song for Our Daughter.
Featuring brand-new string arrangements by Rob Moose performed by the London-based 12 Ensemble 鈥� whose collaborators include The National and Max Richter 鈥� this Prom journeys through the back catalogue of singer-songwriter Laura Marling, whose recent live performance the Guardian described as 鈥榣ike being dosed with a vitamin I had been leaving out of my diet鈥�.
The Grammy and Mercury Prize winner takes the Royal Albert Hall stage for a one-off acoustic retrospective. Songs from her latest album including 鈥楩ortune鈥� and the album鈥檚 title-track, 鈥楽ong for Our Daughter鈥�, sit alongside those from earlier albums including Alas, I Cannot Swim 鈥� released when Marling was just 18.
Presented by Andrew McGregor, live from the Royal Albert Hall.
