Dances with the Kanneh-Masons

Recitals of short works were very popular in the early days of the Proms and this concert updates that tradition for the 21st century. The wide-ranging selection of folk songs, classical miniatures and pop tunes on the program showcases the close links between all kinds of music and the human impulse to dance. Brothers Braimah and Sheku Kanneh-Mason and the Brazilian guitarist Plínio Fernandes are joined by the Fantasia Orchestra which makes its Proms debut under its founder, Tom Fetherstonhaugh.

Andrew McGregor and dancer and choreographer Kenneth Olumuyiwa Tharp introduce this concert from the Royal Albert Hall in London.

Airs Saturday, August 24 at 2pm and Sunday, August 25 at 4am
