The BBC Proms, which have been running since 1895, are famous for their affordable tickets and not-so-uptight atmosphere. Unlike a typical concert hall, audiences are encouraged to stand or sit, and clap along.

This year’s program boasts a diverse lineup, catering to all tastes. With over 90 scheduled concerts, you can expect everything from grand orchestral pieces by renowned composers like Beethoven and Tchaikovsky to exciting contemporary works and even film scores. Chamber music concerts and special events for families further enrich the festival’s offerings. See the full program here.
