The programme goes big. Hear Warren Mailley-Smith take on Beethoven's magnificent Emperor Piano Concerto, alongside favourites including Grieg's Morning and In the Hall of the Mountain King, Strauss' The Blue Danube and Elgar's Nimrod. Opera gets its moment too, with Verdi's Libiamo!, Bizet's Habanera and Puccini's soaring Nessun Dorma.

And what would a Prom be without a suitably rousing finish? The programme also features the traditional Hornpipe, Elgar's Land of Hope and Glory and Arne's Rule, Britannia! Plenty to get 2027 off to a suitably musical start.

Presented by City Music Promotions, the concert features the Piccadilly Sinfonietta alongside pianist Warren Mailley-Smith, soprano Susie Parkes and a special guest tenor to be confirmed. Since forming in 2017, the Piccadilly Sinfonietta has become a regular on the UK concert scene, performing with leading virtuoso soloists at venues across the country.

Whether you're a regular at classical concerts or fancy swapping the usual New Year's Day plans for Beethoven, Puccini and a candlelit church in Piccadilly, this one's got plenty to listen out for.
