Concert Information:
Casella’s haunting ‘Heroic Elegy’, dedicated to the ‘unknown soldier’, forms part of a series of works in this year's Proms written in the shadow of the First World War.

Former BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artist Benjamin Grosvenor, still only 22, returns for his fourth Proms appearance in Chopin’s lyrical but virtuosic First Piano Concerto; he is also the soloist in Franck’s Symphonic Variations – once a Proms favourite (performed here on 60 occasions), though it has been largely absent since the 1960s.
