The BBC Proms are now well underway, showcasing a remarkably broad repertoire in a particularly challenging year for classical music.

With “Prommers” tickets costing only £7.12 on the day, there are plenty of chances to get your live music fix in person at the Royal Albert Hall. Performers range from stalwarts such as BBC Symphony Orchestra to relative newcomers like Ghanaian-American singer-songwriter Moses Sumney. There really is something for everyone.

But if you can’t get to the Royal Albert Hall, there are plenty of other options to keep your eyes and ears duly satisfied.

So if music be the food of love, feast upon this year’s festival - here are all the ways you can enjoy the BBC Proms 2021.
