Classical Gems
Oxford Proms welcome two talented teenage violinists from Oxford to play the delightful Vivaldi concerto, plus leading British flautist Celia Redgate for the memorable Dance of the Blessed Spirits.
Jocelyn Freeman makes a welcome return for Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No 2, and the concert ends with Joseph Haydn’s Symphony No 45, which has a very unusual twist at the end.

Classical Favourites
Oxford Proms are delighted to welcome back Mami Shikimori who has performed many times in previous concerts. Here Mami is playing one of her favourite Mozart concertos, No 17 in G Major – the memorable tune of the finale was, according to Mozart, first chirped by his pet starling!
