What You Can Expect at The Proms Today

The Proms today contains over 70 main Prom concerts at the Albert Hall and additional Proms Chamber Music performances at the Victoria and Albert Museum. There is at least one Prom concert every evening, and a large number of these are preceded by a pre-Prom talk. Every Prom concert is broadcast on BBC Radio 3, and a number of Proms are now broadcast on the web and on BBC4 -- a digital television channel. The Last Night of the Proms is always shown on BBC television.

Each Prom term now has themes, and the works mirror one of the themes. The performance is still a mix of old and new and includes music, conductors, performers and orchestras from around the world. The themes for 2004 were "Back to Bohemia" and "East meets West and England in 1934." This year's proms include concerts marking 200 years since the Battle of Trafalgar and the death of Hans Christian Andersen and the 60th Anniversary of the end of the Second World War. Thus the themes for the 2005 season will be "Fairy Tales," "The Sea," and "Composer Anniversaries." Placido Domingo will make his Proms debut this year, performing in Die Walkure on 18 July. Ravi Shankar, 85,is also making his debut and will perform his sitar Concerto No 1 with daughter Anoushka in August. Also for the first time ever, 100 young musicians aged between 15 and 18 will join the BBC Symphony Orchestra on stage at the proms. Half-price tickets are being offered to all under-16's.

Last Night Of The Proms Has Finish with its own traditonal way

The 115th BBC Proms period sketch to a close last night with the conventional last night spectacular of patriotic songs and flag-waving - and an curious work featuring Sir David Attenborough playing a floor polisher.
The expert natural history broadcaster said the prospect of performing for a TV and radio audience that could run into hundreds of millions around the world was more frightening than being charged by a rhinoceros.



Joining Sir David on stage at the Royal Albert Hall was comedian Rory Bremner on rifle, drum and bass musician Goldie on vacuum cleaner and journalist Martha Kearney, also on rifle.
Part of the piece involved Bremner 'shooting' Sir David, and he said he was very nervous about gunning down a national treasure.

During rehearsals with the BBC Symphony Orchestra, Sir David said he was worried about his instrument's performance, though conductor David Robertson joked that he had been given the 'Stradivarius of floor polishers'.
Sir David came into view as a guest speaker at a Darwin-themed Prom earlier this summer, but said his presentation will be one of the most intimidating moments in his eminent career.
'This is tough. This is nerve-wracking,' he said.
'A charging rhinoceros is absolutely nothing compared to this.'

Last Night Of The Proms - 2008 season

The 2008 season ran from 18 July to 13 September 2008. The BBC released details of the season slightly earlier than usual, on 9 April 2008. Composers whose anniversaries were marked include:

• Ralph Vaughan Williams, 2008 being 50 years since his death
  
• Elliott Carter and Olivier Messiaen, each in his centenary year
  
• Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, to mark the centenary of his death
  
• Karlheinz Stockhausen, whose 80th birthday would have fallen during the season (he died on 5 December 2007).

The celebration of Stockhausen was centred on two large-scale concerts on 2 August 2008, and complementing Vaughan-Williams's interest in folk music, the first Sunday was given over to a celebration of various aspects of British folk, including free events in Kensington Gardens and the Albert Hall, and ending with the first-ever céilidh in the Albert Hall itself.

Other changes included additional pre-Prom talks and events. For the first time, there was a related talk or event before every Prom, held in the Royal College of Music. The popular family-oriented Prom this year became the Doctor Who Prom, (in place of the Blue Peter Prom of recent years). The Doctor Who Prom included a mini-episode of Doctor Who, "Music of the Spheres".

Just over a month before the announcement, Margaret Hodge, a Minister of State at the Department for Culture, Media and Sport suggested "that the Proms was one of several big cultural events that many people did not feel comfortable attending" and advocated an increase in multicultural works and an effort to broaden the audience. Her comments received wide criticism in the musical world and media as being a fundamental misunderstanding of the nature of the Proms, with the Prime Minister even distancing himself from her remarks.
