10th Concert Program Programme Prom Promenade Proms 1895
EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic programme marks the inaugural event of the Proms, or "Promenade Concerts," held at Queens Hall in London on the 10th of August, 1895. The Proms, a series of summer music concerts, were initiated by Henry Wood, a renowned English conductor, and impresario, with the aim of making high-quality classical music accessible to the general public. The concerts were named "Promenade" due to the audience's freedom to walk around the orchestra during the performances, a practice that was unheard of in formal concert halls of the time. The programme features an eclectic mix of music, showcasing both established and contemporary composers. Highlights include works by Mendelssohn, Dvořák, and Elgar, as well as the world premiere of Wood's own composition, "Fantasia on British Sea Songs." The concert also included choral pieces, solos, and orchestral selections, providing a diverse musical experience for the audience. The 1890s was an era of significant cultural growth and innovation in Britain, and the Proms played a pivotal role in shaping the musical landscape of the country. This programme serves as a testament to the groundbreaking nature of the event and the enduring legacy of the Proms as a cherished British cultural institution.
