The mission of the BBC Concert Orchestra is to bring inspiring musical experiences to everyone, everywhere. The orchestra is broadcast regularly on BBC Radio 2’s Sunday Night Is Music Night, it explores a wide selection of classical and contemporary music for broadcast on BBC Radio 3 and BBC iPlayer, and it also records TV and film soundtracks, including Blue Planet and Serengeti. In February 2021 it performed for the BBC One and BBC Radio 2 national celebration of musical theatre, Musicals: The Greatest Show.
The BBC Concert Orchestra is an Associate Orchestra at London’s Southbank Centre and appears annually at the BBC Proms, including at Proms in the Park. Along with its regular engagements throughout the UK, the orchestra tours internationally and has an exciting programme of learning work, engaging people of all ages with a wide range of music and projects, including the BBC’s Ten Pieces.
