| Over 70 concerts in around 60 days culminates in a rousing classical music extravaganza |
For over a century, since 1895,the BBC Prom
Season has delighted London’s concert goers
with a rousing classical music extravaganza of
more than 70 concerts over 58 days, allowing
music fans to enjoy dozens of works from some
of history’s greatest composers. in addition to
such luminaries as Elgar, Vivaldi and Beethoven
you’ll also find the innovative, untested and
contemporary. In past years, The Proms has
showcased British film scores and unknown
homespun composers to provide an eclectic mix
of daring performances - earning a much-
deserved reputation as a not-to-be-missed
musical jamboree of distinction that champions
new music, composers and artists.
Each annual Proms Season invites many hundreds of musicians and singers from a wide variety of musical
disciplines to concerts at the Royal Albert Hall.
However, the highlight of the festival is arguably the
Last Night of the Proms - a rowdy celebration of
over a million people swishing Union Jacks and
blowing whistles in patriotic merriment. A perennially
popular, affair, the Last Night at the Proms offers a
chance to revel in a musical tradition of considerable
pomp, pageantry and circumstance - an exhilarating,
fun-filled finale conducted with energetic aplomb.
