Clubbing meets classical at the Late Night Proms

When: July 29

The Prom for: Beat-freaks old and new.

The vibe: A classical homage to Ibiza.

Hosted by: Pete Tong.

Featuring: Ella Eyre, the Heritage Orchestra.

Other players: Hip conductor Jules Buckley.

Listen out for: House anthems including Rhythim Is Rhythim’s ‘Strings of Life’ and Stardust’s ‘Music Sounds Better with You’.

Jules Buckley on Rudimental’s ‘Waiting All Night’: ‘The hook in the chorus is off-the-scale, and it evokes a great reaction. I’m reinterpreting it for orchestra, with beats, basslines and all sorts! It’s about turning the classical orchestral set-up on its head – not the music, but the traditions – and the Proms supports this.’

When: August 5

The Prom for: Ravers who need a chill-out.

The vibe: A blissful, mind-expanding sesh.

Hosted by: Mary Anne Hobbs.

Featuring: Pianist Nils Frahm, ambient duo A Winged Victory For The Sullen.

Other players: The London Brass ensemble.

Listen out for: Tracks from Frahm’s ‘Spaces’ album, plus collaborative works with AWVFTS.

Mary Anne Hobbs on Nils Frahm’s ‘Says’: ‘“Says” is a song with magical properties. It feels like Nils has taken the complex textures of what love could be and transposed them into sound – it resonates with a global audience. The Prom will be an immersive and cerebral experience, but seek out Frahm’s hip hop jams if you want to dance.’

When: August 12

The Prom for: Grime fiends and bass fans.

The vibe: Bleeding-edge sounds, reworked.

Hosted by: MistaJam, Sian Anderson.

Featuring: Stormzy, Wretch 32, Krept & Konan, Lethal Bizzle, Skepta.

Other players: Alt pop-loving orchestra Metropole Orkest.

Listen out for: Lethal Bizzle’s ‘Fester Skank’.

MistaJam on Wretch 32’s ‘6 Words’: ‘I challenge anyone, in any genre, to find as genuine a love song as this. It already covers a number of bases – R&B, rap, D&B – so adding orchestration to it will create another layer and enhance those already there. If anyone isn’t dancing during this Prom, I’d advise a trip to the GP to see what’s wrong with them!’
