When it comes to classical concerts, what comes to people’s minds? The splendid performance hall, the dedicated conductor, the musicians who worked in perfect harmony, and the audience, all dressed in formal attire, were immersed in the ups and downs of the melody and were mesmerized, occasionally giving warm but controlled applause according to etiquette. The feeling of the scene can be summed up in one word: grand! But it seems that because of this, the distance from the public is a bit far away...

But don't panic! If you don’t have the chance to appreciate classical music with the style of a celebrity, then just show your true self and listen to it relaxedly! Music is the home of the human spirit. The most ideal state for enjoying music is to be at ease. Today’s British festival will introduce to you, the British BBC Proms Music Festival.

What is the Proms? The BBC Proms is an annual classical music festival held at the Royal Albert Hall in South Kensington throughout the summer. There were performances every day for eight weeks. The so-called "Proms" is the abbreviation of "Promenade Concert", which is generally translated as "Proms Concert".

So what kind of escape is this "Proms"? It turns out that during the Proms Music Festival, the audience can take a leisurely stroll in the music festival like attending a garden party, buy snacks and beer at the canteen, and eat and drink during the concert. It is relaxed and informal, and there is no tradition at all. I remember attending the concert in such a formal and serious manner.

It is precisely because of this unique style that the Proms, which has been held for nearly a century, has successfully combined the elegance of classical music with the popularity of ordinary classical music. While maintaining the seriousness of classical music, it is also Without losing its unprecedented public appeal, it attracts thousands of tourists every year.

The Origin of the Proms A century ago, in 1894, Robert Newman, the new manager of the Royal Albert Hall in London, sensed a business opportunity and invited the newly debuted young conductor Henry Wood (Henry Wood), let’s discuss how to rebuild this gradually dilapidated concert hall and give it new life. Newman revealed to Wood that he wanted to hold a music festival with a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere, specifically designed for entry-level audiences, and the two quickly hit it off; the next year, the first "Proms Music Festival" was born.

Compared with the serious atmosphere of sitting upright and tense that is common in classical concerts by large orchestras, the purpose of the Proms is to break this traditional concept and instead encourage people who do not have many opportunities to visit the concert hall on weekdays. The mass working class people come to enjoy concerts with first-class music quality and artistic standards. This is why from its inception to the present, concert ticket prices have remained close to the people.

After the end of the First World War and the year after Newman's death, the British National Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) took over the hosting rights of the Proms in 1972. However, every year from the opening ceremony of the music festival, the bust of Henry Wood, which is collected at the Royal Academy of Music, will be transported and placed in front of the organ of the Royal Albert Hall to be admired. It can be said that every Proms Music Festival so far has opened and closed with Henry Wood's "Focus on the Blessing".

In the more than 100-year history of the Proms Music Festival, there has been one unchanging purpose, which is to "popularize high-quality classical music to a wider audience." As Nicholas Kenyon, the festival’s most respected director throughout its history, said: “Spanning more than a century, the Proms’ diverse identities and characteristics have merged into an integral artistic culture.”
