Prom 69Florence + The Machine – Symphony of Lungs

Part of the BBC Proms.’As grand and mysterious as the Big Bang itself’ concluded Pitchfork when Florence Welch – aka Florence + The Machine – released her debut album 15 years ago, a year after attracting the attention of BBC Music Introducing. The BRIT Award-winning Lungs immediately announced Florence as an artist of huge courage, theatricality and vocal abilities – earning her a place on BBC Radio 1’s prestigious ‘Sound of …’ list. For her Proms debut, she joins Jules Buckley and his Orchestra for a celebration of Lungs, and of the compelling poetry and music of this singular artist in whom the darkly gothic meets all that glistens. No interval.
