The Proms, officially known as the BBC Proms, is an annual series of classical music concerts held in London. It typically runs for eight weeks during the summer, featuring a wide range of performances from orchestras, soloists, and choirs. The event is known for its relaxed atmosphere, allowing audiences to enjoy music in both seated and standing areas. Founded in 1895, the Proms aims to make classical music accessible to everyone. The concerts take place at the Royal Albert Hall and other venues, culminating in the famous Last Night of the Proms, which celebrates the end of the season with a festive atmosphere and audience participation.
