The Hallé Prom plus the Juilliard Quartet in Tokyo

This week Tom McKinney revisits the best of the current season of Proms concerts - today, The Hallé performs music by James MacMillan and Mahler's much-loved 5th Symphony.

Presented by Tom McKinney, including another chance to hear last Saturday night’s Prom featuring Sir Mark Elder’s final concert as music director of The Hallé. The full Hallé family of choirs and orchestra gather at the Royal Albert Hall to perform James MacMillan’s setting of Dryden’s Timotheus, Bacchus and Cecilia. And in the second half, the Hallé orchestra performs Mahler’s much-loved Symphony No.5.
