Overview
If you’ve ever wanted to dip a toe into the world of classical music or maybe you’re already a convert, you’ll be pleased to hear that the world-renowned classical music festival BBC Proms is heading to Melbourne in 2016 for a limited debut season between April 13-16.
BBC Proms has never ventured outside of the UK before, so it’s kind of a big deal they're hitting our side of the pond. They’ll be setting up shop in Hamer Hall for a series of performances across a broad range of styles and genres, including a show by Aussie beatboxer Tom Thum (who’ll perform a hybrid beatbox/orchestral piece) and a show based around excepts of David Attenborough’s landmark BBC series Life Story with accompanying footage.
The Proms is steeped in egalitarian ethos — they began as a series of cheap standing concerts held in London and designed to bring classical music to the masses. Tickets to their season at Hamer Hall will start from $79.
