In a change to the originally advertised programme, John StorgÃ¥rds, the ±«Óãtv Philharmonic's Chief Guest Conductor, joins the orchestra for its 'Proms at ... Salford Quays' concert.
The programme opens with Haydn's overture to Philemon und Baucis, a puppet opera written in 1773 for the Esterhazy court, before Britten's Nocturne - one of the treasured song-cycles he wrote for his partner, Peter Pears.
Nocturne explores a rich world of night-time images and dreams, setting words by poets including Shakespeare, Tennyson and Keats.
The soloist is leading British tenor and former ±«Óãtv Radio 3 New Generation Artist Allan Clayton. Act IV Entr’acte – Elegy from Hamlet is the first of two Tchaikovsky pieces, before his lush and tuneful masterpiece for string orchestra - Serenade for Strings – brings the orchestra’s live ±«Óãtv Prom to a close.
Live from MediaCityUK, Salford, presented by Tom McKinney.
