It feels good to be writing the introduction to the Proms Guide again! Following a very different season last year, in which we responded to the many challenges of the coronavirus pandemic, we are hopeful that this year will mark the start of a journey back to the BBC Proms as we know and love them.
The unique alchemy of the interaction between the artists onstage and the audience in the hall is a huge part of the Promss allure. Last year, our performers created magic in an empty venue, but this year we look forward to the return of our much-missed audiences, who I am sure will respond with particular enthusiasm after an absence of two years.
Writing this at the end of April, it is unclear how many seats we will be able to offer or whether Promming will be possible but, in the best traditions of the festival, we will ensure that the finest music remains accessible to as many people as possible, with low-priced tickets available for all concerts. all these booking details, as well as updates on the programming listed in this Guide, you can rely on the Proms website to give you the most up-to-date information.
Creating our six-week season at the Royal Albert Hall and Cadogan Hall amid continuing uncertainty, we have had to balance ambition with caution, old traditions with new realities and firm plans with flexibility. We wanted to create a 2021 festival with British artists and ensembles at its heart it feels appropriate, at a time when musicians are rebuilding their careers after over a year of disruption. This is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the exceptional talent and wide range of the UKs musical community.
