PET SHOP BOYS: PREMIERE ‘A MAN FROM THE FUTURE’ AT BBC PROMS

PET SHOP BOYS will premiere new music inspired by World War Two codebreaker Alan Turing at this year's BBC Proms which will take place at London's Royal Albert Hall on July 23rd.

'A Man From The Future' - which sees the duo backed by the BBC Concert Orchestra and the BBC Singers - will feature a musical 'evocation of the life and work" of Turing, who was granted a posthumous royal pardon for his conviction for homosexuality last year, although Turing committed suicide in 1954. The evening will also include an orchestral medley of Pet Shop Boys songs and
new orchestral arrangements by David Lynch's musical collaborator Angelo Badalamenti of music by Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe.
