| Performance Notes | In 2021, the BBC Proms returns to the Royal Albert Hall for a summer of live music, as it has done every year since 1941. With 52 concerts over 44 days, featuring 30 orchestras and ensembles and more than 2,000 musicians, this ambitious season promises a celebration of live music on a scale not seen since before the pandemic. From the power of a symphony orchestra to the sheer joy of a single performer on the Halls magnificent organ, this summer we look forward to coming together through music. Every Prom will be live on BBC Radio 3 and BBC Sounds.
English composers of the 20th century could rival their counterparts across the Atlantic when it came to creating some of the most memorable cinematic moments of the century. Spend a night at the movies with a sequence of classic British film scores by composers including Malcolm Arnold, Ralph Vaughan Williams and Doreen Carwithen, brought to life by the BBC Concert Orchestra and Principal Conductor Bramwell Tovey.
The season was shortened to six, rather than eight, weeks because of the financial risk to the BBC not knowing audience sizes due to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. |
