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.

Last Night of the Proms
Sep 14, 1991
The biggest musical party of the year reaches its festive climax as the audience in the packed Royal Albert Hall in London celebrates the second-half of the Last Night of the Proms. Conductor Andrew Davis, who admits to enjoying 'a bit of a knees-up', steers the BBC Symphony Orchestra through the traditional favourites: Elgar's Pomp and Circumstance March No 1 and Wood's Fantasia on British Sea Songs, Gwyneth Jones sings Arne's Rule, Britannia!, and the evening rounds off with Parry's Jerusalem, orchestrated by Elgar. Before all of that, there's the march from Things to Come by Bliss, the ever-popular Polovtsian Dances of Borodin and a special treat as Dame Gwyneth is joined by the 91-year-old harpist Sidonie Goossens - who played in Sir Adrian Boult 's original BBC SO - to perform Miss Goossens's own arrangement of The Last Rose of Summer.
