Last Night of the Proms

Overview

A rousing climax is guaranteed in the second half of tonight's live concert. But before the fun and frolics of Pomp and Circumstance, Sea Songs and Rule, Britannia!, there's more serious music-making. Part 2 begins with Walton's Shakespeare Suite from Richard III , some of Vaughan Williams's Songs of Travel (the bass soloist is John Tomlinson ) and Bennett's waltz The Orient Express. Jerusalem provides the traditional grand finale to the proceedings.
