Clive Myrie and special guests present the first night of the Proms, live from the Royal Albert Hall. The eight-week season of exceptional music is kicking off with a bang as conductor Sakari Oramo and the BBC Symphony Orchestra take on Verdi’s monumental Requiem.\n\nThe orchestra will be joined by two choirs - the BBC Symphony Chorus and Crouch End Festival Chorus, as well as a quartet of superstar soloists: soprano Masabane Cecilia Rangwanasha, mezzo-soprano Jennifer Johnston, tenor David Junghoon Kim and bass-baritone Kihwan Sim.\n\nThe piece bursts with lush melody, drama and musical fireworks, and the famous Dies irae section will push choirs and soloists alike to their vocal limits.
