BBC Proms Out+About: 26 June 2008

---

17 HOURS OF FREE LIVE MUSIC IN ONE DAY!
On Thursday 26 June the BBC Proms took to the streets of London for a 10-hour marathon offering up to 17 hours of live, free music. Performing in locations as diverse as hospitals, train termini, shops, an airport, a museum and a train, musicians from the BBC Symphony Orchestra popped up in some very unexpected places to serenade the public wherever they were in London and give a flavour of what's in store at the BBC Proms this summer.

If you missed the performances, don't worry - there's still a whole summer of music ahead at the BBC Proms for you to try, including our first ever FREE Prom, which opens the doors of the Royal Albert Hall so that anyone can come and experience the Proms for themselves in our special folk music-influenced concert. See Prom 4 for more details. To book your tickets call 0845 401 5040 or visit the Live Online Booking System.
