BBC Proms Season 41 Episode 6

Overview:
Introduced by Jane Glover

Dance - the theme of the 93rd season of Henry Wood

Promenade concerts - is a subject close to the heart of tonight's conductor, Isaiah Jackson , who has worked with the Dance Theatre of Harlem and next month becomes the music director of the Royal Ballet.

The main work in tonight's concert is Copland: Dance

Symphony, described by its composer as 'one of the things-called-symphonies-that-aren't'. It was written for a never-staged vampire ballet called Grohg.

Before conducting it, Isaiah Jackson talks to Jane Glover about his love of music for dance.

First in the programme comes Rachmaninov:

Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini in which the soloist is the Irish-born pianist

Philip Martin , for whom the Piece is fast becoming a speciality: 'You need a stretch like an octopus! Rachmaninov had huge hands!' with the BBC Concert Orchestra leader MARTIN LOVEDAY
