This event is now in the past
We return to the BBC Proms for a Late Night Prom centred on listening, a shared experience that brings people together through sound.
Featuring Dame Evelyn Glennie, this programme brings together a wide range of musical voices, from the jazz-infused energy of John Coltrane and Duke Ellington to the stillness and intensity of Morton Feldman and Meredith Monk. Though diverse in style, each work invites us into a deeper act of listening to one another, and to the space we share.
At its centre is the world premiere of Wood Pigeon by Héloïse Werner, placing new music alongside a lineage of experimental voices.
Performed with the BBC Singers, this Late Night Prom becomes a collective experience, one that unfolds through attention, connection and shared musical presence.

Tom Fetherstonhaugh
Tom’s start in music was fortuitous, as he was lucky to be introduced to an inspiring violin teacher by his grandmother at the age of four.
At eight he became a chorister of Westminster Abbey, an experience he describes as ‘transformative’, benefitting from musical training that featured high profile occasions like singing the solo at the Royal Wedding in 2011. Tom then attended Cardinal Vaughan Memorial School, a state comprehensive that champions music and the arts.
He continued with the violin, sang, played the organ, and started to explore conducting, enjoying the process of rehearsals and the ability both to make music with and to bring together large groups of people. It was in his final year at school that he saw the potential for a career in it, founding Fantasia Orchestra in 2016.
Tom now enjoys a busy career with major orchestras, including with the BBC Philharmonic and the National Symphony Orchestra Ireland. In his rare moments of downtime he enjoys running, listening to jazz, and cooking, likening the process to conducting — it being about balance, flavour, pacing and bringing people together.
