Logo for BBC Proms - 2009 - Prom 10: Orchestre National de Lyon

From Ravel and Takemitsu to Debussy's La Mer, this rollercoaster of a Prom celebrates the fascinating musical links between east and west. The French Orchestre National de Lyon, under their half-German, half-Japanese music director Jun Maerkl, perform with the young Japanese virtuoso violinist Akiko Suwanai, while Mayumi Miyata introduces the oriental instrument known as the sho to the Proms audience. Presented by Charles Hazlewood.
