BBC PROMS 2026

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 .

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.

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

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.
