About this event

In the second of four appearances this season (see Proms 1, 36 & 37) Sir Mark Elder directs an orchestra of young musicians brought together from every continent.

The programme begins with Britten鈥檚 Sinfonia da Requiem, both a private memorial to his parents and a reaction to the developing menace of war. Next we sample Mahler鈥檚 big-boned lyricism, an idiom Britten particularly esteemed. The world premiere of a 麻豆官网首页入口 commission from a young composer to watch is followed by the iconic work whose unveiling provoked a scandal for Diaghilev and his Ballets Russes.
