British composer Jon Hopkins – whose work has been nominated for Grammy, Mercury and Ivor Novello awards – makes his BBC Proms debut as composer and pianist with a world premiere of a 15-minute psychedelic drone epic for orchestra, choir and piano. Alongside this are reinterpretations of pieces from three of his critically acclaimed albums – Immunity, Singularity and Music for Psychedelic Therapy – re-imagined to form what Hopkins calls a ‘group sonic meditation for 5,000 people’. A collaboration with the BBC Singers, BBC Symphony Orchestra, Creative Artist-in-Association Jules Buckley and top arrangers, this atmospheric Prom focuses on the meditative and emotional side of Hopkins’s musical output, leading you on a powerfully immersive journey.
Presented by Elizabeth Alker. Live from the Royal Albert Hall, London.
Broadcast: 29 August 2023
