Saturday 24 August will see Paraorchestra present ‘The Virtuous Circle’, a new composition of Mozart’s Symphony No. 40 from Ivor Novello winner Oliver Vibrans. Exploring orchestra as the ultimate embodiment of teamwork, this unprecedented new work recasts the classical concert as an immersive experience.

Taking place on Sunday 25, is the sold-out ‘BBC Singers at 100’ event with a virtuosic line-up reviving some of the BBC’s classical music milestones, under Chief Conductor Sofi Jeannin. Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra will be performing Tchaikovsky’s heart-on-sleave Symphony No. 5 and Evelyn Glennie plays Jennifer Higdon.

On Monday 26, young classical music lovers will be able to take part in The BBC Young Composer workshops, offering a chance to learn with professional music creators and composers to develop your own music. It will also be time for CBeebies Prom: Ocean Adventure, a fun-filled musical ocean adventure for the whole family.

The full 2024 BBC Proms season runs from Friday 19 July to Saturday 14 September. For those unable to attend live concerts, every note of the proms will be broadcast on BBC Radio 3 and BBC Sounds – 24 programmes will also be available on TV and BBC iPlayer.
