BBC Proms: Season 2023, Episode 6

2023 - 6: Bomsori Plays Bruch at the Proms

South Korean virtuoso Bomsori performs Bruch's First Violin Concerto with the BBC Philharmonic, conducted by Anja Bihlmaier, in an evening of music inspired by the folk traditions of Hungary. Katya Adler is joined by composer and cellist Ayanna Witter-Johnson to discuss the enduring power of folk in a concert also featuring Brahms' Hungarian Dances and Bartok's Concerto for Orchestra. There's also a welcome return to the Proms, after almost a century, of the piece that launched the career of Croydon-based British composer, Samuel Coleridge-Taylor.
