Proms 2025: Great British Classics at the Proms
Royal Albert Hall, London UK
Tue 5 Aug 2025


A musical celebration of landscapes and seascapes from the Royal Albert Hall performed by the BBC National Orchestra of Wales.
From the soaring flight of Vaughan Williams’s The Lark Ascending, Elgar’s beloved Enigma Variations featuring Nimrod, Britten’s stormy Four Sea Interludes from Peter Grimes, and Walton’s Crown Imperial Coronation March, to lesser known gems from some of Britain’s most illustrious composers, this is musical Britain at its very best.
Clive Myrie presents and is joined by special guests Alison Balson and Gyles Brandreth.
