OK. I’ll say this loudly for the people at the back: IT’S OK FOR A PERSON TO DISLIKE STUFF AND IT DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY MAKE THEM AN IGNORANT OR BAD PERSON.

The morning after the night before. That was one heck of an incredible Alpine Symphony from the BayerischeStaatsoper Orchestra and Vladimir Jurowski, who brings out the darkness in that piece so wonderfully. T back with them today to play Wagner, Schumann and Mahler 4 Barbican Centre

JUST ANNOUNCED: record-breaking audience figures, 50% of people attending the BBC Proms for the first time, 3.5m viewers for the Last Night. Some fantastically encouraging stories here. New classical fans: come and join us BBC Radio 3! bbc.com/mediacentre/20…

And this year, for the first time, we’ve introduced a category for children. Because why should grown-up composers have all the fun?!

Vital research. 👇

Dame Sheila Hancock tells us that classical music is one of the greatest comforts and joys of her life, and we couldn't agree more 🎶

As we near the end of the #BBCProms 2023 season, we're reflecting on a wonderful 8 weeks of classical music. What are your season highlights?

Enjoyed the BBC Proms this year on TV or BBC Radio 3? Then remember that classical music doesn't stop when the Proms ends! I can guarantee that almost no matter where you are, there will be concerts not far from you. Go and experience it live. It will blow your effin mind!

I think that one of the biggest highlights of the Last Night of the @BBCProms was the MASSIVE & deeply PASSIONATE ovation given to BBC Singers when Marin Alsop mentioned them in her speech. We would have been lost without them, last night. 💕🎶

Definitive ranking by effectiveness when used as a fan:
1. Cantique de Jean Racine (Oxford University Press edition)
2. Tambling congregational mass setting
3. Order of service
4. Psalter
5. Hymn book (0/10, do not recommend)
🫠 In Quires and Places Where They Meme

Truly, LiseDavidsen is miraculous #LNOP

The biggest cheer at the #LastNightoftheProms was for the BBC Singers.
