BBC.Proms.2025-09-05 Coleridge-Taylor, Coleman, Lee III, Shostakovich - Symphony No. 10


Proms 2025: Celebrating Chineke! at the Proms
Royal Albert Hall, London UK
Friday, 5 September 2025


Experience the 'electric atmosphere' of a performance by the Chineke! Orchestra – Europe's first majority Black and ethnically diverse orchestra. Conducted by Jonathon Heyward, together they perform Shostakovich's 10th Symphony: over 50 minutes of brutality, violence, despair and terror, followed by two minutes of triumph. A portrait of life – and death – in Stalin’s Russia, it's a fierce act of musical testimony. The Prom opens with the steady thrum of Coleridge-Taylor's orchestral dance The Bamboula, while works by US composers Valerie Coleman and James Lee III form the concert's American-accented centre.
