Ryan Bancroft heads to the BBC Proms with the LSO, whose wind, brass and percussion celebrate the brilliant colours of folk-song arrangements by Vaughan Williams, Grainger and Arnold. They also perform Gunther Schuller’s eclectic trombone concerto Eine kleine Posaunenmusik, with its hints of jazz and daring technical demands. The LSO’s former Principal Trombone Peter Moore is the soloist.
Change of Artist
Sir Simon Rattle must undergo routine surgery in the next few days so, regretfully, he has had to withdraw from conducting the LSO Prom on Saturday 30 August. We are grateful (as is Sir Simon) to Ryan Bancroft for stepping in to conduct the LSO at short notice.
The programme for the LSO Prom remains unchanged. Posted 27 August 2025, 4.30pm.
