Mendelssohn’s enchanting music in an exciting, modern semi-staged production of Shakespeare’s masterpiece, Mozart’s famous Clarinet Concerto and for the first time at the Proms, a work by much overlooked romantic composer Mel Bonis.\n\nBonis’s Salomé kicks off the concert - a musical portrayal of the biblical figure, full of sensual and mysterious sounds. Then, American clarinettist Anthony McGill performs Mozart’s Clarinet Concerto, one of his most popular works.\n\nThe Prom culminates in Mendelssohn’s magical musical retelling of A Midsummer Night’s Dream brought to life on the Royal Albert Hall stage with readings by actors from Shakespeare’s beloved comedy.\n\nGemma New conducts the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra and the National Youth Choir of Scotland’s Chamber Choir. Presented by Clive Myrie with special guest.
