The first of this evening's Proms from the Royal Albert Hall celebrates the 50th anniversaries of the founding of the London Mozart Players and the death of Richard Strauss. The programme includes a flute concerto by Lowell Liebermann, one of the three great last symphonies by Mozart, and Strauss's elegiac Metamorphosen, which surveys the ruins of postwar Europe.
