CONDUCTOR CHLOÉ VAN SOETERSTÈDE

Cromarty, Forth, Tyne ... The Proms celebrates the centenary of the Shipping Forecast, heard daily on BBC Radio 4, a lifeline to all those at sea and a poetic salve for countless others on land.

With presenters from Radio 4’s Continuity team, music inspired by the oceans and the elements, and a new work by Poet Laureate Simon Armitage and his group LYR, this is an event that speaks to the heart of our island nation.

This concert will be broadcast live on BBC Radio 3.
