South Korean violinist Sueye Park made her debut at The Proms on 29 July 2026, performing Sibelius's violin concerto. The BBC Philharmonic, conducted by John Storgårds, accompanied Park at the Royal Albert Hall. The concert also featured a performance of Betsy Jolas's composition 'Tales of a Summer Sea' and Richard Strauss's 'Also Sprach Zarathustra'.
Orchestral Performances
Under conductor John Storgårds, the BBC Philharmonic presented a programme that included Sibelius's violin concerto, with Park's performance described as poetic and enthralling by The Guardian. The orchestra maintained a light touch during the Sibelius piece, allowing Park's tone to be penetrating and lyrical. The ensemble also performed Betsy Jolas's 'Tales of a Summer Sea', a 1977 composition intended to overcome a childhood fear of the ocean, which featured seven percussionists. Richard Strauss's 'Also Sprach Zarathustra' was also a feature, with The Guardian noting its dramatic assurance and the effective use of the Royal Albert Hall's acoustics, including a bell placed high in the gallery.

Jupiter Ensemble's Late-Night Concert
Following the main orchestral concert, the Jupiter Ensemble, founded by lutenist Thomas Dunford, performed a late-night programme. British tenor Laurence Kilsby joined the ensemble for this concert, which included works by John Dowland, marking 400 years since his death, and Henry Purcell. The Jupiter Ensemble's performance of Dowland's 'Flow, My Tears' and 'Sorrow, Stay' with Kilsby was noted as moving, while their renditions of Dowland's 'The King of Denmark's Galliard' and 'Can She Excuse My Wrongs' were described as effervescent and infectious, even if straying from early music orthodoxy. The ensemble's set also included a rendition of The Beatles' 'Hey Jude', as reported by The Guardian.
