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.

Stravinsky's Rite of Spring

Jul 23, 2011·3h

From the Royal Albert Hall, Katie Derham introduces Stravinsky's revolutionary work composed for Diaghilev and his Ballets Russes - The Rite of Spring. The concert begins with Weber's intoxicating music from his last opera, the Oberon Overture, and followed by Brahms' sumptuous Double Concerto for Violin and Cello with sibling soloists Renaud and Gautier Capuçon, who this season make their first ever Proms appearance. This is the second Prom given by Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France led by the South Korean conductor Myung-Whun Chung. During the interval Katie meets members of the orchestra and the Capuçon brothers.
