BBC Proms

The BBC Proms is the world's largest summer music festival. This year's Proms has been very different. It's a multi-platform virtual event, celebrating 125 years since the first season. The BBC’s tagline poignantly describes: “Not the Proms as we know them, the Proms as we need them.” Classical 89 is pleased to present three concerts from this year's proms.
