I mentioned before that there is no definitive list of all the premieres available at the BBC Proms on the BBC website. So, after a bit of rummaging around, I present the official CT no-money-back-guarantee BBC Proms premieres calendar. Last year when I did this I noticed an extra benefit of these links, since the BBC put audio (and sometimes video) of the performances at these locations after the event. If that happens again, the guide can also be used, therefore, as a means of catching-up on stuff you’ve missed. Quite useful, really.
