John Wilson and his orchestra, a clever combination of symphonic orchestra and big jazz band, are an annual Proms highlight, bringing the glitz and glamour of stage and screen to the Royal Albert Hall. This year their concert pays tribute to George and Ira Gershwin, one of America’s most celebrated song-writing duos. The programme includes favourites like, ‘Embraceable You’, ‘Love Walked In’, ‘Fascinatin’ Rhythm’ and the ballet music from the 1951 film ‘An American in Paris‘. The Independent calls it “Technicolor for the ears!”.
