Thursday - Â鶹Éç Proms - Shostakovich’s Fifth Symphony

Afternoon Concert Â鶹Éç Proms 2023

The ±á²¹±ô±ôé and Sir Mark Elder perform Shostakovich’s Fifth Symphony and Rachmaninov's choral symphony The Bells at the Â鶹Éç Proms.

Introduced by Penny Gore, and featuring The ±á²¹±ô±ôé orchestra with its Music Director Sir Mark Elder performing a programme of Russian music. The ±á²¹±ô±ôé Choir and Â鶹Éç Symphony Chorus plus soloists join them for Rachmaninov's choral symphony 'The Bells', inspired by the gothic poetry of Edgar Allan Poe. The second half of the concert features Shostakovich's Fifth Symphony: the surface jollity concealing a darker core, under threat from Stalin and the Soviet regime.
