Florence + The Machine have announced a special performance of their debut album, Lungs, in celebration of its 15th anniversary. Titled “Symphony of the Lungs,” the concert will take place on September 11 at the Royal Albert Hall in London as part of the BBC Proms Classical Music Festival. It will be broadcast live on BBC Radio 3.
At the concert, Florence Welch will perform the entire album backed by Jules Buckley and his orchestra. In addition to being broadcast live, the performance will be recorded for future broadcast on BBC Radio 1, BBC TWO and BBC iPlayer.
“This album was a mosaic of a period of my messy adolescence and early twenties,” Welch said of the upcoming anniversary show in a press release. “I had no idea what I was doing or where I was going, and a lot of the songs are just an outpouring of joy. But that's really where the Florence + The Machine sound was born. “So to have it still so present in people's hearts 15 years later and to be invited to play it orchestrally at the BBC Proms is a great honour.”
The BBC Proms festival is an eight-week event focused on classical music. Considered the largest classical music festival in the world, BBC Prom offers 90 concerts from July 19 to September 14.
