Prog rock exploded the tight boundaries of pop music, amplifying it with new symphonic scope, ambition and influences, and creating spectacular visual and musical statements. The Proms celebrates this pioneering, British-driven movement in a concert celebrating classic tracks on an orchestral scale. Award-winning broadcaster and Â鶹Éç Radio 6 Music host Stuart Maconie presents brand-new orchestral arrangements of music by ELP, Genesis, Jethro Tull, Mike Oldfield, Renaissance and others.
