Graham Ross will direct the Danish National Vocal Ensemble at the BBC Proms at 2pm on 23rd August at St George’s, Bristol.
They will present a choral dialogue across the centuries, with British composer and suffragette Ethel Smyth responding to Bach and Italian-born Paola Prestini reflecting on Palestrina, born 500 years ago. The great Dane Carl Nielsen paid his own tribute to Palestrina and the choir also brings songs of summer and autumn.
This concert is part of the Proms Across the UK series, and will be recorded for future broadcast on BBC Radio 3.
