Proms 2026

[qatsi]

So much is up in the air, in so many ways, so I don't really know how much I will be going to the Proms this year, but here's a preliminary list of things that are worth considering.

• The Black Dyke Band (Sunday morning)


• Olivier Latry organ recital (Sunday morning) with Poulenc and John Adams in the evening


• The Aurora Orchestra doing their thing with Mahler 1 (Sunday morning)


• Nadia Boulanger and Rachmaninov 2 (with incongruously early start time)


• Respighi's Church Windows


• Marsalis, Gershwin and Barber


• Bond (no programme details yet)


• Mahler with The Met and Joyce DiDonato


• Rachmaninov's Piano Concerto No. 3


• Mahler 9

Others that may be of interest: Weber's Oberon; Strauss' Ariadne auf Naxos.
