First ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Promenade Concert 13 August 1927

The ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½'s continuing fruitful relationship with the Promenade Concerts began with the 1927 season when the very popular Proms were endangered by a loss of sponsorship. The Proms were established in 1895 by Robert Newman and Henry Wood to bring good music to a wide audience at an affordable price. The ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ saw that taking them on would provide a full season of concerts for broadcast and would fulfil the Corporation's remit to "inform, educate and entertain".
