The 2026 Proms season has reached its midpoint, and now it's time to hear your thoughts on this year's musical experiences. Have you attended the concerts held at the Royal Albert Hall, on the radio, or online?
Your Listening Experiences
With 86 concerts held over eight weeks, the claim of this classical music festival as the largest and best classical music festival in the world is hard to deny. This season, many prominent artists and orchestras such as the Berlin Philharmonic, John Wilson and the Sinfonia London, the Oslo Philharmonic conducted by Mira Grazinyte-Tyla, and the Aurora Orchestra in search of Mahler's works garnered positive reviews from critics.
Did you attend any of these concerts? Did you miss concerts in Bristol, Sunderland, Gateshead, or Mold? What new music has been added to your playlists?
New and Amazing Works
Among the new works that have taken the stage this year, the suite "Fasten" by Turnage with its vibrant and astonishing colors, the bassoon concerto by Tia Masgrau which was an engaging experience, and the violin concerto by Jessie Montgomery which is considered a milestone, clearly left a mark. Did you enjoy these works as well? Did you sing along with the famous piece "Hey Jude" by the Jupiter Ensemble alongside other audience members?
We eagerly await hearing your listening experiences in the comments. Share your thoughts and feelings with us, and let's celebrate the amazing moments of this festival together.
