makes an appearance in classics inspired
by Romeo and Juliet from Prokofiev and
Bernstein – and there’s even Stravinsky's
arrangement of 'Happy Birthday To You',

the Proms. Jamboree!

Broadcasts
Broadcast on BBC FOUR Australia's national children's choir, Gondwana Voices, visits the Proms for a large-scale choral commission from one of Australia's leading musical talents. Striking a blow against reality television, the dehumanisation of modern society and the warped language of corporate jargon, Brett Dean's 'sociological cantata' shares a social conscience with Beethoven's Symphony No. 7, whose first performance, in December 1813, was at a benefit concert in Vienna for soldiers wounded in the Napoleonic Battle of Hanau. It was also the last work Sir Henry Wood conducted before his death in 1944.
