A free family concert specially devised to give new and younger audiences a first taste of classical music and a flavour of the music to be heard throughout the season. There’s music by Elgar and Holst, Saint-Saëns and Britten, plus a newly devised work designed for the BBC Proms Family Orchestra (which gives its debut performance at a Proms concert).
