About this event

Cellist and conductor Han-Na Chang makes her Proms conducting debut as Music Director of the Qatar Philharmonic Orchestra 鈥� one of this year鈥檚 global orchestras, also making its debut. Their concert culminates in Tchaikovsky鈥檚 Symphony No. 5, haunted by its recurring 鈥楩ate鈥� theme.

Vivid with contrasts and surging climaxes, the symphony is matched for drama by Rachmaninov鈥檚 Second Piano Concerto, a Proms favourite whose slow movement burns with restrained passion. Behzad Ranjbaran鈥檚 Seemorgh is inspired by the mythical Persian bird of its title.
