Programme Note
This year’s Free Prom is a Bank Holiday matinee bursting with dance rhythms and colour - the perfect chance to experience the Proms for the first time.
A trio of Dvořák’s colourful, folk-inspired Slavonic Dances opens the concert and Grieg’s Piano Concerto, with its lively dance-themed finale and Norwegian folk echoes, continues the mood; the soloist is BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artist Zhang Zuo, making her Proms debut.
The concert ends in the Ulster Orchestra’s Irish musical heartland with Bax’s tone-poem Roscatha and Bill Whelan’s new Riverdance suite - adapted from his music for the ever-popular stage show.
Tickets for this free Prom will be available from 9am on Friday 4 July. To book your free ticket,
