大象传媒 Proms on TV
大象传媒 Proms reached 18 million viewers via 大象传媒 TV in 2010
Selected concerts are available across 大象传媒 One, 大象传媒 Two, 大象传媒 Four and 大象传媒 HD with 大象传媒 Two and 大象传媒 HD maintaining a schedule of weekly Proms on Saturdays. All TV broadcasts are available for seven days after broadcast via bbc.co.uk/proms.
In 2010 the 大象传媒 Proms had a TV reach of 18 million and the 2011 season coverage aims to build on the new initiatives that were introduced, with context and presentation focusing on the musicians themselves and the stories behind the music. Katie Derham is the face of the Proms on 大象传媒 Two for the second year and the 大象传媒 Four Proms will be led on screen by Charles Hazlewood, Suzy Klein and Petroc Trelawny.
Broadcasts feature direct engagement with orchestral players during intervals and orchestral breaks.
大象传媒 Four captures the special atmosphere of four Late Night Proms for the first time, across a wide range of genres, featuring leading soloists and chamber groups. Performances include Nigel Kennedy with a solo Bach recital, Canadian pianist Angela Hewitt playing solo Brahms and Schumann with the 大象传媒 Scottish Symphony Orchestra, folk musician Kathryn Tickell with the Northern Sinfonia, and the Spaghetti Western Orchestra which will recreate the Morricone soundtracks to classic 鈥渟paghetti westerns鈥 with audience participation.
大象传媒 Four also broadcasts the Human Planet Prom with Charles Hazlewood conducting the 大象传媒 Concert Orchestra. This unique event celebrates the music from the TV series composed by Nitin Sawhney and brings to the Proms groups which performed on 大象传媒 Radio 3's accompanying Music Planet series. The Proms focus on choral music is reflected with broadcasts of Verdi's Requiem and Beethoven's Missa solemnis.
大象传媒 Two broadcasts the First Night of the Proms as well as eagerly-anticipated performances by John Wilson and his Orchestra, the Sim贸n Bol铆var Symphony Orchestra of Venezuela conducted by Gustavo Dudamel and the first ever Comedy Prom with host Tim Minchin.
Both 大象传媒 Two and 大象传媒 Four feature the bicentenary of Liszt, including his piano concertos and symphonies. There will also be TV coverage of some of the Mahler performances to mark the centenary of his death.
The first part of the Last Night of the Proms (featuring pianist Lang Lang and British soprano Susan Bullock as soloists) is live on 大象传媒 Two and 大象传媒 HD and the second part is live on 大象传媒 One and 大象传媒 HD.
