BBC Proms Season 2016 Episode 20 - Mozart from Memory

Airdate: 2016-Aug-26

Episode summary:

The Aurora Orchestra with conductor and founder Nicholas Collon return to the Proms with another performance entirely from memory. Not a note of music or a single music stand will be seen on the Royal Albert Hall stage as they tackle Mozart's final symphony, a piece packed full of joy and invention. Presenter Tom Service explores the process of committing a complete symphony to memory and, with the orchestra's help, unpicks this work on stage for the Proms audience, deconstructing the final movement to explore Mozart's compositional genius.
