At Newport for the first time, the Proms hosts a string ensemble from Berlin that is half quartet, half band – and the programme it brings proves the point. The first half sees Bloch’s solemn Prelude and one of Dvořák’s most astonishing string quartets – a piece charged by Romantic emotions but imbued with Classical order. After the interval the rules go out of the window thanks to the boundless energy of the vision string quartet’s collaboration with Mahan Mirarab, the guitarist who combines the sounds of the Middle East with jazz. Expect grooving rhythms, tearaway improvisations and an irresistible fusion of musical worlds.

Presented by Verity Sharp, live from The Riverfront, Newport
