The 2009 Proms Begin
In 1895, Sir Henry Wood created a music festival that was inexpensive, informal, and accessible for everyone: the Proms in London. From the first night of the 2009 Proms, a concert last Friday, the BBC Symphony Orchestra lights Stravinsky's Fireworks, and plays Edward Elgar's overture "In the South."
