Last Night of the Proms
Evening Music | May 6, 2010
The BBC Proms is one of classical music's most celebrated events. The Proms is now in its 111th season, one of the longest-running musical festivals in the world. Virtually all of the world's great orchestras have performed at the Proms, and the festival also attracts the most famous of classical music stars to perform. The Proms takes its name from the "promenade" on the floor of London's Royal Albert Hall, where all of the concerts take place. Music-lovers queue up every day of the festival hoping to get tickets that allow them to become one of the "prommers," members of the audience who stand throughout the concert on the promenade.
Last Night of the Proms is like no other classical concert; sometimes raucous, sometimes stirring, steadfastly iconic, it’s a night that brings great music to a large audience in a uniquely informal and rousing way. Join the tradition of Last Night of the Proms on 93.9 WNYC, New York Public Radio.
