Catch up on the BBC Proms
The final fortnight of this year’s Proms took place in the Royal Albert Hall without an audience.
For the first time in Proms history, every concert was filmed, broadcast live and is now available to watch back on the BBC iplayer.
Catch up on the world premieres of works by Hannah Kendall, Thomas Adès, Aziza Sadikova, Jay Capperauld, Gavin Higgins, Richard Ayres and Andrea Tarrodi, all of which were commissioned especially for this year’s unusual season. Richard Ayres’s orchestral work No. 52 is a set of three pieces about Beethoven’s experiece of hearing loss, while Jay Capperauld drew inspiration from his experience of lockdown in his piece Circadian Refrains (172 Days Until Dawn), which explores the cyclical nature of time passing.
As well as the more traditional works, you can watch performances of Julia Wolfe’s East Broadway for toy piano and sitar improvisations with live electronics by Ravi Shankar and Gold Panda.
