Prom 1: The First Night of the PromsTime: 7.30pm - c9.50pm Venue Tickets £7-£36 
Broadcasts
Broadcast on BBC TWO. Elgar’s Cello Concerto recorded for broadcast
on BBC ONE. Launching our celebration of Proms Firsts – premieres given at the Proms since the BBC became associated with them 80 years ago – Walton's roistering Portsmouth Point overture (given its London premiere at the BBC's first Proms season in 1927) is the prelude to Elgar's timeless Cello Concerto, in the year of his 150th anniversary. Beethoven's life-affirming 'Choral' Symphony was unheard last year owing to fire at the Royal Albert Hall, and so makes a historic first appearance at a First Night, as well as being heard again with contrasting forces later in the season (see Prom 62).
