- Summary:
- The Last Night of the Proms is one of the most popular classical music concerts in the world and is watched and listened to by an audience of millions. Two very special guests make an appearance at 2012's Last Night. Since taking the nation by storm as 2004's BBC Young Musician of the Year, Scottish born Nicola Benedetti has enhanced her reputation as one of Britain's most innovative and creative young violinists. Also performing is Joseph Calleja, the Maltese tenor who sings with the grace and elegance of voices of a bygone era. Contributions from 2012's anniversary composers include Delius's valedictory settings of Walt Whitman. More familiar music brings down the curtain in time-honoured fashion.
