96% capacity. Who wouldn’t be ecstatic at that figure for 5,900 tickets (incl. 1000 standing) 7 nights a week for 8 solid weeks? + 10.6m TV watchers, 4.6m streaming BBC iPlayer & BBC Sounds. So much for classical music being so unpopular. BBC Proms Department for Culture, Media and Sport #NotJustTheLastNight

In case you missed it: at a special BBC event last night, we announced some major new BBC Radio 3 commissions, including a 40-part series on modernist composers and 25 new works, inspired by the first 25 years of the 21st century. More here: bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/20…

Essential reading - Paul McCreesh’s support for music in state schools (actually getting out there and doing it, rather than pontificating) means so much. And this is spot on ⬇️

"We are reviewing the curriculum to put arts and music back at the heart of the national curriculum where it belongs." Lisa Nandy MP We welcome the Culture Secretary's commitment to arts education. Meaningful reform is urgently needed to address and reverse years of decline.

We had a great rehearsal last night with beautiful piano accompaniment Alex Aitken and Mark Jordan trusting the choir to make it through the Brahms without a baton (which of course we did ☺️) & polishing our pieces for Saturday’s #SongsOfLove All welcome Underneath The Stars.

Thank you to everyone who came to hear us tonight. We had a blast & we hope you did too! To sing in such a well-tuned acoustic space & be treated to beautiful playing Alex Aitken & Elana Kenyon-Gerwirtz Mark Jordan & solos from the choir, notably Alice Stainer was a real treat

Well I think it's inspired, and we all know Rameau loved a bit of ABBA. In fact Rameau's name is an acronym of the first names of his court sextet. Thanks Georgia Mann! 🆘🎻🤭🎶 music.apple.com/gb/album/danci…
