The BBC have announced the summer line-up for this year's BBC Proms, which will once again feature performances dedicated to Doctor Who:
Doctor Who Prom
Music from the Doctor Who series
Murray Gold, with the London Philharmonic Choir and BBC National Orchestra of Wales, conducted by Ben Foster.
Doctor Who returns to the Proms to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the popular BBC series. As well as showcasing Murray Gold’s music from the past eight years, the concert also journeys back to the early days of Doctor Who and the groundbreaking work of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop.
Featuring special guests from the series, big screens and a host of monsters ready to invade the Royal Albert Hall, this is not the year to be exterminated!
Other music to be performed includes the Habanera from Bizet’s Carmen Suite No. 2, Debussy’s ‘La fille aux cheveux de lin’ and Bach’s Toccata and Fugue in D minor.
The prom is to be performed twice, with "Prom 2" taking place on Saturday 13th July from 7:30pm (tickets start from £14), and "Prom 3" the following Sunday morning at 10:30am (tickets at £12, restricted to maximum of six per booking). Booking for the Proms season opens on the 11th May.
The proms will be broadcast live on BBC Radio 3, and also recorded for broadcast on BBC One.
