Performance NotesIn 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 Hall’s magnificent organ, this summer we look forward to coming together through music. Every Prom will be live on BBC Radio 3 and BBC Sounds.

Former BBC Young Musician winner Sheku Kanneh-Mason returns to the Proms as the soloist in Dvorak’s Cello Concerto.

A new Proms commission written for the Royal Albert Hall’s 150th anniversary by former BBC Young Composer winner Grace- Evangeline Mason contrasts with two scintillating orchestral showpieces – Hindemith’s jovial reworking of themes by Weber for what was initially intended as a ballet, and Richard Strauss’s colourful take on the Spanish lothario Don Juan.

The Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra makes its first Proms appearance under its new Chief Conductor, Domingo Hindoyan.

BBC co-commission with Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra and world premiere of 'The Imagined Forest', GE Mason.

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.
