South Korean virtuoso Bomsori Kim makes her Proms debut performing Bruch’s ever-popular First Violin Concerto with the BBC Philharmonic in an evening of music inspired by the folk traditions of Hungary. Katya Adler is joined by composer and cellist Ayanna Witter-Johnson to discuss the enduring power of folk in a concert also featuring Brahms’s Hungarian Dances and Bartok’s Concerto for Orchestra. And after almost a century, there’s a welcome return to the Proms of the piece that launched the career of Croydon-based British composer Samuel Coleridge-Taylor.
