The first BBC Prom in Nottingham will feature a new Proms Commission from Dr Elizabeth Kelly, Associate Professor in Music Composition at the University of Nottingham.
In her new composition, 'Lace Machine Music', Dr Kelly celebrates Nottingham's heritage as a global capital of lacemaking and industrial innovation.
Dr Kelly said, "I was intrigued by the idea that there is a connection between a lace factory, where a range of skilled workers come together to produce intricate lace, and the orchestra, which brings together a diverse array of highly-trained instrumentalists to produce intricate music. Both the lace trade and orchestra were booming at the same historical moment."
