The Royal Albert Home series launched in April with Rufus Wainwright leading the lineup. Lucy Dacus is the next artist due to perform for the series, on 17 June from 8:30pm BST.
Royal Albert Hall Artistic Director Lucy Noble says, "With Royal Albert Home, we’ve looked to keep the spirit of the venue alive by presenting a programme of world class artists from a vast host of genres – and spotlighting up-and-coming talent alongside beloved household names. No other streamed programme has been quite as eclectic as this one, showcasing homegrown soul and Swiss electronica, R&B and folk, Bach cellos and Baxter Dury."
She adds, "We’re delighted to announce these two new shows featuring two old friends of the Hall: the incomparable Martha Wainwright – one of the world’s most distinctive and original singer-songwriters – and former Last Night of the Proms star, Nicola Benedetti, who is among the leading classical artists on the planet."
