BBC Music – August 2020
English | 97 pages | pdf | 38.4 MB
Well, for the first time, you know as much about this year’s BBC Music Magazine Proms as I do. As we go to press, Proms controller David Pickard and his team are still busy deciding which archive concerts to broadcast and, depending on the ever-changing government guidelines, second guessing whether any sort of live performance will be possible in the final weeks of the season. All very complicated. So for that very reason, we’re unable to bring you listings as we usually would.Fear not, however – as soon as we get the nod, we’ll be posting full details on our website at www.classicalmusic.com. And we hope to preview some of the live elements (should there be any) in next month’s issue.
Among the Proms we had been looking forward to is one by the young, dynamic BME ensemble Chineke! –Richard Morrison’s feature on p40 charts its remarkable rise, spearheaded by theinspirational double bassist Chi-chi Nwanoku. And we sadly won’t get to hear from theremin player Carolina Eyck, but Kate Molleson’s
interview with her on p36 will hopefully inspire you to explore her extraordinary instrument on your own.
Some final good news: we’ve at last launched a brand new website. It looks fantastic and it’s much easier to navigate. We’d love you to take a look and let us know what you think – after all, you’re the people we want to please! Do send feedback to music@classical-music.com.
