INTERVIEW: BBC PROMS WITH NILS FRAHM, A WINGED VICTORY FOR THE SULLEN AND MARY ANNE HOBBS FOR BBC 6 MUSIC

The BBC Proms have revealed their 2015 season and BBC 6 Music will be broadcasting a special Late Night Prom from the Royal Albert Hall on Wednesday 5 August.  Mary Anne Hobbs will present a let's face it SPECTACULAR evening exploring the borderlands of classical music, with the pioneers of a new generation of musicians who draw on contemporary electronic influences. Berlin-based piano virtuoso Nils Frahm and atmospheric duo A Winged Victory for the Sullen will be joining forces creating an exclusive collaboration as the centre piece of the concert, and it will be broadcast live on BBC Radio 3 and 6 Music.  I took the opportunity to speak to the artists about this and was charged with the task of making some pieces for BBC 6 Music News.  Here we have weekend breakfast presenter Mary Anne Hobbs, Nils Frahm, Adam Wiltzie and Dustin O'Halloran of A Winged Victory For The Sullen discussing what's in store for this one-off performance.  Tickets go on sale via the Royal Albert Hall box office at 9am on Saturday 16 May.  To find out more visit the BBC Proms website at bbc.co.uk/proms.
