Dalia Stasevska (Photo: Veikko Kähkönen) The 2023  BBC  Proms season gets off to a whirlwind start with a series of Nordic delights – from Grieg's passionate Piano Concerto to Sibelius' rousing statement of national identity, Finlandia . Britten's  The Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra  introduces each section of the orchestra from strings to timpani and is packed with earworms for all ages. Plus, a world premiere from Ukrainian composer Bohdana Frolyak. Lesley Manville will be the narrator for  Snöfrid .
