“This year's Proms Season sees all of the BBC's Performing Groups championing female composers such as Doreen Carwithen and Grace Williams. Highlights from the season also include a visit from the Philadelphia Orchestra, conducted by Yannick Nezet-Seguin and a performance from Benjamin Grosvenor with the Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Marin Alsop. Here he plays Chopin's Piano Concerto, and this concerto is performed at the highly anticipated Ukrainian Freedom Orchestra Prom. There is Proms outside of London, highlights include Alina Ibragimova and Cedric Tiberghien in Bristol and they're not only on in the evening either.
