The @bbcproms 2026: ✅ Thank you to every musician, everyone behind the scenes, our @RoyalAlbertHall colleagues and my amazing Proms and @BBCRadio3 team: the unsung heroes of this festival. In a world often defined by division, music brings us together like nothing else 🎶

3 @bbcproms concerts this week, every one has been packed. @RoyalAlbertHall is full, with audiences of all ages proving that classical music is alive and thriving. The arts are not a luxury—they’re an investment in our culture, education and economy. 🎻🎶 #SupportTheArts @DCMS

Beethoven’s Ninth at the @bbcproms is always a spectacle. But when it’s preceded by the most remarkable new commission by Jessie Montgomery, performed by @Abel_Cellist and the @BBCPhilharmonic under Gianandrea Noseda, it makes for a genuinely unforgettable night.

What a performance congrats @BBCSO
You could hear a pin drop at the end of that Mahler 6. The @BBCSO was on blisteringly good form at the @bbcproms tonight, under their Chief Conductor Sakari Oramo. A privilege to hear such brilliant and incisive music-making.

I missed the First Night of the #BBCProms but will be catching up on iPlayer today. From Monday, I’ll be attending 9 Proms! The @bbcproms remain one of the world’s greatest classical music festivals. I hope many of our government ministers experience this & go along!

Loved chatting with @theweekjunior about this year’s @bbcproms season, and sharing why the festival is such a good introduction to classical music for children. Full interview in this week’s magazine.

When @Malala and @ZiauddinY started Malala Fund, one of their dreams was to build the first secondary school for girls in the village where Malala’s mother grew up. In 2018, Shangla Girls School opened with 183 students in the mountains of northern Pakistan. Today, it serves 1,050 girls — and last year, it celebrated its first graduating class of 29, every one of them passing with top marks. 🎓29 graduates from a place where it was rare for girls to finish secondary school. 29 reasons for the next family to send their daughter to school.
