Top conductor takes up the baton at Last Night of the Proms

Now in its 6th year, The Last Night of the Proms in association with Rolls-Royce is a celebration of classical music with a quirky British twist. Based on the event that has been staged in the UK for the past 120 years, the Bangkok version has all the traditional pomp and circumstance but in a stunning riverside setting at Shrewsbury International School.

The exciting programme includes works to suit all tastes - choral works including the Handel’s Hallelujah Orchestra and Irving Berlin; classic pieces from Offenbach, Strauss and Holtz; and the traditional “prom” elements that get the audience on its feet, singing, waving flags and demanding more.

Last Night of the Proms in association with Rolls-Royce provides a showcase for the young musical talent in Thailand. The Combined Shrewsbury Proms Orchestra is made up of musicians from Shrewsbury International Symphony Orchestra, students from other Bangkok international schools including Patana and The Regent’s, as well as professional players.

The Shrewsbury Community Choir will lead the audience in the singing of rousing British anthems such as Jerusalem and, of course, Land of Hope and Glory.

Fine music, fine food and wines and a spectacular fireworks display all add up to make this an evening that should not be missed.
