Last Night of the Proms
The last night of the proms is one of the biggest events in the musical calendar. Classical music lovers and proud Brits gather from across the country to attend the last concert of the 2 month long Proms festival because this is one prom where listening on BBC radio three just won’t do. The last night is held at the Royal Albert hall but spills out onto live video screens in Hyde Park, London, Manchester, and Leeds – to name a few venues – for Proms in the Park, where providing the weather is good a fantastic evening can be had experiencing the proms near you. The concert always features classic pieces by famous British composers such as Elgar, Parry and Harry Wood, but the concert has an international flavour as well with some of the most famous performers from across the world including this years conductor Jiří Bělohlávek and soprano Anna Netrebko as well as pieces by Rachmaninoff and Bellini. Tickets to the indoor event at the Royal Albert Hall are between 20-85 pound and tickets for Hyde park are £23 pounds. Visit the official BBC Proms site for more information
