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.
Charles Hazlewood introduces the first of 14 Promenade concerts to be broadcast by BBC4 from London's Royal Albert Hall. This evening Charles Mackerras, a revered interpreter of 18th-century music, conducts the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment in a performance of The Creation by Joseph Haydn, sung in German. Soloists are soprano Christiane Oelze, tenor Paul Groves and bass John Relyea. Among the guests joining Charles Hazlewood in the interval is Nicholas Kenyon, Director of the BBC Proms.
