BBC Proms Twelve Days of Christmas

Posted by Sarah Canice Funke Dec 29, 2007

It's not too late to catch some of the best snippets from the 2007 BBC Proms this Christmas and New Year season. From December 24 through January 4, listeners can enjoy select performances from the Proms on the BBC's Radio 3. Hear orchestras from around the world, including the Handel and Haydn Society of Boston, the San Francisco Symphony, the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra, and the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra. The last orchestra will close the 12-day celebration with its Prom performance of symphonies by Schubert and Bruckner.

The BBC Proms take place every summer in London's Royal Albert Hall. The concerts were established in 1895 and have become an established venue for introducing audiences to new music.
