Inspired by the legendary music festival at the Royal Albert Hall in London, Basel Proms—the first of its kind in Switzerland—is a glittering gala evening that brings together Swiss, UK and international artists in a grand celebration of music, arts and culture.
The event will feature the Basel Proms Orchestra, the Basel Proms Chorus, and a number of international and Basel-based soloists.
The Basel Proms Orchestra is made up of members of the Basel Festival Orchestra and other Basel-based musicians from all over the world.
The orchestra and chorus is led by Principal Conductor, David Lawrence, one of the UK’s most acclaimed and versatile conductors. David works with orchestras, symphony choruses, and national youth choirs. He was awarded a prestigious award by the Royal Academy of Music, is a Gramophone nominee, and holds the Guinness World Record for conducting the UK’s largest choir.
