It’s that time of the year again!
I hope this thread will be of interest to all classical music lovers and of the ‘not so classical’ themed music nights.

It looks like a good opening night with a programme that includes Ravel’s piano concerto in G major.
One of my favourites so well worth opening a bottle of chilled rosé.

It’s that time of the year again!

Ah - yes, so it is! At last, something to look forward to.

Thanks merlotgran for starting this thread!

Always interesting to read what others are going to enjoy.

Here's the full Programme - it's a safe BBC link...

I agree. I was rather disappointed with last year’s Proms concerts but this year looks really good.

Gosh there’s so much good stuff this year. Yes, definitely the Ravel - ravishing. John Wilson has two concerts. Very much looking forward to the National Youth Orchestra’s “Transcend” in August. The Black Dyke Band; Bach’s B Minor Mass; Sibelius’ Second. Lots more.

I studied Purcell’s Dido and Aeneas for O level Music and still enjoy it. Love early music such as baroque,
Beethoven’s 6th is my favourite.
Acoustics in the Albert Hall are wonderful.

I really fancy the baroque evening - John Dowland and Henry Purcell but it doesn't start until 10.15pm.

Beethoven's 9th will no doubt be spectacular heard live at the Albert Hall. I might try and get up there.

I am still browsing .
