The BBC Proms are back next week! Prepare for a celebration of classical music over the next 8 weeks, featuring a huge breadth of programming, from Berlioz to Bollywood, large-scale symphonic and choral work, to intimate chamber concerts and exciting Proms debuts.
Did you know you can experience the Proms for just £8? The Day Promming tradition means you can access over 1,000 tickets for each Prom (with some exceptions) - most of which are unreserved standing places. All you need to do is choose a Prom, book online on the day of the concert at 10.30 am and then get ready to enjoy an extraordinary line-up of world-class performances!
And while you're here, combine your musical day out in South Kensington with a trip to the Royal College of Music Museum, and pop in to see their brand new, free exhibition Hidden Treasures of the RCM Collections.
