Μύ
For the first time Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Two will be based in a specially-built studio within the Royal Albert Hall building, which will have a large screen showing preparations within the auditorium, as well as showing specially recorded films and live interviews with artists backstage.
Μύ
Clive Anderson joins Suzy Klein for the Last Night Of The Proms, and the pair also present the Great Conductors Proms, which complements Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Two's new conducting series Maestro, also presented by Clive Anderson, which begins in August.
