The music programme showcases symphonic masterpieces, choral highlights from operas and musical theatre, performances from renowned international soloists, and surprise appearances by traditional, Basel musicians.
We will welcome back Principal Conductor David Lawrence, the Basel Festival Orchestra, and soprano, Beverley Worboys. Other star soloists include the up-and-coming young violinist, Amira Abouzahra, Welsh opera singer (and famed “Gio Compario” character), Wynne Evans, and the brilliant American mezzo-soprano, Angela Brower.
Audiences play a vital role in Basel Proms performances. You will be immersed in a fun and festive atmosphere: the dress code is relaxed, and you can enjoy a good ‘sing-along’ in the second half, amid a sea of flags and colour.
