BBC Proms
The World's Greatest Classical Music Festival. The BBC Proms is a classical music festival held every summer at the Royal Albert Hall in London, and in recent years has explored an innovative series of Proms around the UK with concerts in all four nations. Its aim: to bring the best in classical music to the widest possible audience, which remains true to founder-conductor Henry Wood’s original vision in 1895. Whether you are a classical connoisseur or think classical music isn’t for you, there is something for everyone in the eight-week stretch of concerts.

Omnibus at the Proms
Aug 26, 1988
Instead of the familiar venue of the Royal Albert Hall, tonight's Prom comes from the more intimate location of St Paul's Church, Knightsbridge where Anthony Rooley and his Consort of Musicke perform a specially devised programme of ltalian madrigals. In keeping with this year's literary theme the concert is based on the poetry of the great Italian Renaissance writer TORQUATO TASSO, whose epic poem Gerusalemme liberata inspired such celebrated composers of the age as Monteverdi, De Wert, and Rovetta. The programme is introduced by Iain Fenlon, author and Vice-Provost of King's College, Cambridge. CONSORT OF MUSICKE directed by ANTHONY ROOLEY (lute) with Emma Kirkby (soprano) Evelyn Tubb (soprano) Mary Nichols (alto) Andrew King (tenor) Rufus Muller (tenor) Alan Ewing (bass)
