Review: BBC PROMS: HORRIBLE SCIENCE - THE BIG BANG PROM, Royal Albert Hall
There really is a Prom for everyone. In the past we’ve had ‘Orrible Opera, the Earth Prom, a variety of CBeebies offerings (including A Trip to the Moon and Wildlife Jamboree), not to mention several Doctor Who Proms - but this year it was time for something new. Given that science-focused unive…

Review: BBC PROMS: LATE NIGHT BAROQUE, Royal Albert Hall
With artificial intelligence doing its best to inveigle its way into the arts, there’s no better antidote than a late night Prom showcasing some of the best loved songs from the late Renaissance and Baroque eras. Thomas Dunford’s Jupiter Ensemble was formed in 2018, and could not be more well pl…
