    Prom 44 - 17.08.17: Bang on a Can All-Stars

    22:15 Thursday 17 August 2017
    Royal Albert Hall

    Michael Gordon: Big Space BBC commission: world première
    David Lang: Sunray London première
    Julia Wolfe: Big Beautiful Dark and Scary London première
    Philip Glass: Glassworks – Closing
    Louis Andriessen: Workers Union


    BBC Proms Youth Ensemble
    Bang on a Can All-Stars
    Rumon Gamba conductor

    Bang on a Can represents all that is most gleefully non-conformist and boundary-breaking in new music. Celebrating its 30th birthday this year, this pioneering American artistic collective and its three composer-directors, Michael Gordon, David Lang and Julia Wolfe, bring their signature energy to this Late Night Prom, together with their six-piece amplified ensemble.

    The All-Stars perform classic works by Wolfe, Lang and Louis Andriessen alongside an 80th-birthday tribute to Philip Glass and a world premiere by Michael Gordon, performed by the Proms Youth Ensemble. Expect propulsive rhythms and plenty of big grooves.

    1. What are big grooves?

    2. Is it Louis Andriessen, or the BBC website, who omits the apostrophe?

      This may help to explain such jargon. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8UXY6tehLM

      I believe it was Andriessen, who does have a better excuse than the BBC, given that Dutch has a topsy-turvy approach to apostrophes (the plural of "piano" is "piano's" for example).

        Thank you for that.
