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.

From London's Royal Albert Hall, Stephanie Hughes introduces the second of this year's live Proms, with young Finnish conductor Sakari Oramo - the man with the daunting task of replacing Simon Rattle - taking the baton in front of the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra. The evening's music opens with The Sea by Frank Bridge and continues with Sibelius's lyrical Violin Concerto, in which Sarah Chang is the soloist. The concert ends with Carl Nielsen's powerfully dramatic Symphony No 4, also known as The Inextinguishable.
