Orchestra members playing a cello for BBC Proms Starting

BBC Proms Starts on the 19th of July. This annual music festival, celebrated from mid-July to mid-September, is renowned for bringing classical music to a broad audience in an accessible and engaging way. The Proms, short for “Promenade Concerts,” are held at the Royal Albert Hall in London and feature a wide array of performances from leading musicians, orchestras, and conductors.

The BBC Proms, founded in 1895 by Robert Newman and conductor Henry Wood, aim to democratise classical music, making it accessible to everyone. The festival’s tradition of affordable standing tickets, or “promming,” allows concert-goers to enjoy performances from close proximity at a low cost. Over the years, the Proms have expanded their repertoire to include contemporary and world music, appealing to a diverse audience. The Last Night of the Proms, a grand finale event, is particularly famous for its patriotic fervour and communal singing.

To bring the spirit of the BBC Proms to your social media, here are some content ideas:

  • Share the history and origins of the BBC Proms.
