Live at the ±«Óãtv Proms: ±«Óãtv Concert Orchestra and conductor Daniel Bartholomew-Poyser with singers Vanessa Haynes, Vula Malinga, Cedric Neal and Elisabeth Troy.
Sound, style and fashion met in the disco movement, and in late 1970s New York there was only one place to experience it: Studio 54. Many of the disco hits that electrified the dance floor at the iconic midtown-Manhattan venue borrowed extensively from orchestral traditions. Here the ±«Óãtv Concert Orchestra returns the favour, lending its power and exuberance to an evening that celebrates a pivotal movement in late 20th-century club culture and the glorious music it produced. With iconic hits from Chic, Gloria Gaynor, Diana Ross, Boney M. and Walter Murphy, get ready for all the glitz, glamour and groove of disco at the Proms!
Presented by Katie Derham, live from the Royal Albert Hall.
INTERVAL: The Listening Service - Flares and big collars at the ready as Tom Service asks: what makes music D-I-S-C-O? He talks to Chic legend Nile Rodgers – whose career has spanned from early work with The Honeydrippers to Daft Punk via David Bowie – and finds out from tonight’s conductor Daniel Bartholomew-Poyser exactly how disco made it to the Royal Albert Hall.
