The world famous Proms season continues at the Royal Albert Hall with a concert by David Hill, the Bach Choir, the National Youth Choir of Great Britain and children's choirs from assorted London Boroughs. They will be performing Bob Chilcott's "The Angry Planet" and Ben Parry's "Flame".

First established in 1875, the Bach Choir has long been regarded as one of the world’s leading choruses. The choir’s musical director is currently David Hill, who occupies a spot once held by the great English composer Vaughan Williams.

The terracota-coloured Royal Albert Hall is one of London’s favourite concert venues. Whilst it remains most famous for classical music and the annual Prom concerts, it also holds rock and pop concerts, sports events and award ceremonies.
