The 2010 Proms season is now up on the BBC’s website.
From my first skim through there is just one jazz prom, a late-nighter from Jamie Cullum and the Heritage Orchestra on August 26th.
For songbook nuts there’s also a Rodgers and Hammerstein celebration on August 22nd and a Sondheim 80th birthday bash on July 31st.
The BBC Concert Orchestra on August 30th has one Don Sebesky arrangement.
I’m pleased for my Kings Place neighbour the Aurora Orchestra who’ve got a Prom.
And that’s all I can find.
Other non-classical things are a World routes session with ouds and ganuns on August 9th, and the Penguin Cafe Orchestra with Kathryn Tickell on September 8th.
Look for yourselves on the pages which are now on the BBC website.
