One of the world's greatest classical music festivals, the BBC Proms, returns to the Royal Albert Hall this Summer. This year's season features 22 works by 12 UMP Classics & Screen composers across 13 Proms, with two additional composers making appearances as conductors. Included within the program is Heiner Goebbels' staged concert Songs of War I Have Seen, three separate works by Lili Boulanger, and an entire Prom dedicated to film scores featuring excerpts of scores composed by Hildur Guðnadóttir, Anna Meredith, and Tamar-kali.
