Join Chineke! – Europe’s first majority Black and Minority Ethnic orchestra - and favourite CBeebies presenters for a family Prom designed to fire youthful imaginations and demonstrate the power of dreaming big.
Young musical astronauts can follow in the footsteps of the Apollo 11 mission, experiencing new adventures along the way – including a meeting with the Clangers. The concert also features a new BBC Ten Pieces Trailblazers commission by film music’s living legend Hans Zimmer, which imagines how our Earth appears as seen from the Moon.
