General facts :
The Night of the Proms is one of the most visited and most attractive musical events in Europe. It is special, first and foremost because of the unique mix of famous classical music and pop evergreens with which this event shifts musical borders. Young and old uninhibitedly swing to the beat of classical melodies and thousands strike up Elgar's "Land of Hope and Glory". That is what makes the Night of the Proms so different from other concerts. The regular Night of the Proms orchestra Il Novecento and conductor Robert Groslot play music from the last three centuries in such a playful manner and with such verve, that everybody is carried away by their delightful performances.
So, this year Texas is the main act at the Proms concerts. They wont play an entire concert, probably about four songs. But hearing and seeing Shar's voice with a symphonic orchestra is a once in a lifetime experience.
Other guests at the Proms are Tears For Fears, John Miles, Tony Henry, Ike Turner, Il Novecento and Fine Fleur. And every night there's a surprise act. The surprise acts were Jasper Steverlinck and Udo and Lara Fabaian.
