The Last Night of the Proms is one of the most famous musical events in the worId, watched and Iistened to by milIions. A unique event, it both ceIebrates British tradition and encapsuIates the spirit of the BBC Proms, by featuring leading internationaI artists in a truIy all-embracing musicaI programme that introduces new works alongside much-loved cIassics.
Tradition dictates the last four works of the Last Night: Prommers Iead the audience in a rousing rendition of "Land of Hope and Glory", "Rule, Britannia!" and "JerusaIem", and add their own speciaI touches to the BBC Symphony Orchestra's virtuosi performance of Sir Henry Wood's "Fantasia on British Sea-Songs".
ln 2000 Sir Andrew Davis made his finaI appearance at the heIm of the BBC Symphony Orchestra. He was joined on stage by the outstanding young American vioIinist Hilary Hahn and the internationaIly renowned British soprano Jane Eaglen. A world premiere was also given of a recently discovered piece of Shostakovich to make this finaIe of the BBC Proms 2000 a memorable celebration of the world's greatest classical music festivaI.
