Multi award-winning composer, producer, DJ, songwriter and recording artist Nitin Sawhney presents an epic orchestral performance for this year’s Proms. The concert will feature the London Under Sound Symphony Orchestra, a specially created collective of both Eastern and Western classical musicians brought together by Sawhney for this event. Including orchestral and band renditions of Sawhney’s album and collaborative works, the show will also feature choreographed moments from movement specialists Akram Khan and Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui, as well as appearances by other very special guests.
