description: The Grammy-winning jazz singer brings her soaring vocals to the Royal Albert Hall this weekend.
encoded: The song Peace of Mind speaks to an experience that’s probably familiar to anyone who’s ever been on the cusp of fame – that moment when your life speeds up and starts to feel like it’s not quite your own any more. “Where do you find/Your peace of mind/Is it in the places you go/Or the people you meet,” the song begins. For Samara Joy, whose song it is, there’s a need for peace of mind because the prodigiously talented 25-year-old jazz singer from The Bronx in New York has risen to the top at astonishing speed, carving out a glittering career that we can expect to take another leap forward when she makes her BBC Proms debut on Saturday, presenting a show called The Great American Songbook and Beyond, which, as with all the Proms, will air live on Radio 3. “The lyrics came from personal experience,” Samara says, speaking to Radio Times having just flown into London a few days ahead of her Royal Albert Hall performance. “That feeling of being a bit overwhelmed by success – a feeling of entering adulthood and it all being a bit too accelerated.” The three studio albums, the critical acclaim, the five Grammy awards, the worldwide bookings at the most prestigious venues – truly life has come at Samara fast. And yet to see her perform – and to hear her talk – is to be in the presence of naturalness, poise and tremendous self-possession, qualities bestowed on her by an upbringing she describes as “rich in love and family and community”, in which music and singing were all around her. View oEmbed on the source website Samara – born Samara Joy McLendon – is the granddaughter of the founders of a Philadelphia gospel choir. Her father was a professional singer. “I’d sing with my father all the time – in the car driving to school, at Thanksgiving, around the house. Pretty much all I ever wanted to do was music. There was no other career!” Motown, soul and RnB was what she sang along to. “I didn’t discover jazz until I went to college at the age of 17. I didn’t have any formal l…

How composer Sam Watts took The Traitors to the Proms – and got his break on The Sarah Jane Adventures

description: As The Traitors brings its masked mischief to the Proms, composer Sam Watts says it’s essential to keep mixing popular and classical.
encoded: This article first appeared in Radio Times magazine. There are many first nights at the BBC Proms – whether you’re a debut performer, an audience member visiting the Royal Albert Hall for the first time, or a composer anxiously premiering an untried and untested new work. Sam Watts is one of this season’s newcomers. You may not have heard of him, but if you’re a fan of The Traitors – and we are in our millions – his music will already be instantly recognisable. “I’m very excited,” he says. “Since the success of the first series, I said we should be pushing for a Prom. So at the end of last year when producer Sarah Fay told me it was happening, I was thrilled.” The Traitors Prom is being staged twice on Saturday 26 July and promises to be one of this year’s biggies. Hosted by Claudia Winkleman, it aims to capture the intensity of the hit BBC1 reality show, its themes of treachery and murder reflected in a playlist of classical pieces and pop tracks; even a blend of both. It follows in the wake of previous Proms dedicated to major BBC series: Life Story a decade ago, Strictly in 2016, and numerous Doctor Who extravaganzas. The Traitors is riding a crest of popularity, having won Baftas and NTAs and, crucially for the BBC, it’s a ratings success with upwards of ten million glued to series three earlier this year. For the uninitiated, The Traitors is filmed in the spectacular setting of Ardross Castle in the Highlands and unfolds like a grand-scale version of wink murder. “Faithful” competitors must identify and banish the murderous Traitors in their midst, in a quest to bag £120,000. Originating in the Netherlands, The Traitors is produced in the UK and US by Studio Lambert Scotland, while parent company All3Media has licensed the format to almost 30 territories. Watts is working flat out translating his Traitors score for the live performance. “I’m in the middle of remixing all the electronic elements for the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra to play along with. We’ve c…

description: She's back!
encoded: Catherine Tate has shared her delight at hosting this year's Doctor Who Prom as part of the BBC's celebration of the hit sci-fi series. Taking place on Monday 26th August, the Doctor Who Prom is set to showcase composer Murray Gold's epic music from the series, performed by the BBC National Orchestra of Wales. In a statement shared exclusively with RadioTimes.com, Tate said: "I'm delighted to be hosting this spectacular BBC Prom celebrating all things Doctor Who at the iconic Royal Albert Hall. "I am so looking forward to immersing myself in the music of the brilliantly enduring, shape-shifting Whoniverse, and celebrating the Doctors' adventures (and maybe a few monsters) with you all." Tate first made an appearance in the Whoniverse during the 2006 Christmas special, and later reprised her role as a full-time companion in season 4. More recently, fans saw her return to the role of Donna Noble for the 60th anniversary specials The Star Beast, Wild Blue Yonder and The Giggle alongside David Tennant. The news of Tate's hosting duties was previously announced by Gold in an exclusive interview with Radio Times, in which he said: "It's Catherine Tate [hosting]. I'm really happy it's her because she's an icon of the show. She actually dropped me a note after the specials aired, saying nice things about what I'd done. Oh God, she's great!" A filmed version of the Doctor Who Prom is scheduled to broadcast on BBC One Wales, BBC Two and iPlayer at a later date. The Prom is set to feature "spectacular lighting" and "special guests", with those in attendance yet to be revealed. This won't be the first time Doctor Who has graced the Proms, with previous editions taking place in 2008, 2010 and 2013, with appearances from Freema Agyeman, Karen Gillan, Arthur Darvill, Matt Smith and Jenna Coleman. At this year's festival, there will be 90 proms - 73 at the Royal Albert Hall and 17 at other venues across the UK. Stars including Sam Smith and Florence Welch will all grace the stage a…

encoded: Although the coronavirus pandemic has led to the cancellation of many major public events, including music festivals like Reading and Glastonbury, fans will be pleased to hear that BBC Proms is going ahead - albeit, very differently to usual. In a similar vein to the RHS Chelsea Flower Show, this year's BBC Proms will be a multi-platform virtual event, celebrating 125 years since the first season. Expect to see enchanting live performances broadcast across two months on the BBC, including a special Last Night of the Proms that is hoped to bring the nation together. Here's everything you need to know about BBC Proms 2020. Is BBC Proms 2020 cancelled? Fortunately not. But it will be a very different event to past years, as the BBC's tagline poignantly describes: "Not the Proms as we know them, the Proms as we need them." The original plans that the organisers had laid out for this year's music celebration had to be thrown out or adapted in order to meet our unprecedented current situation, reducing social contact to meet with government guidelines. However, you can rest assured that they are still intent on showcasing "leading artists around the globe, highlighting emerging talent, and featuring work by some of today’s most exciting and innovative composers". In the interest of safety, we will be enjoying the Proms from home this year, as it is broadcast on BBC Radio 3, BBC Four and BBC iPlayer. When is BBC Proms 2020 on TV? The 2020 season will open on Friday 17th July on BBC Radio 3 and Sunday 19th July on BBC Four. Performances from the 2020 Proms will also be available to catch up on using BBC iPlayer. The season will finish on Saturday 12th September. BBC Proms 2020 programme Starting from Friday 17th July, BBC Radio 3 will broadcast past Proms concerts every evening, as well as a weekly Late Night Prom, and a Monday lunchtime offering. The festival will kick off with a unique First Night commission, performed by a Grand Virtual Orchestra comprised of all the BBC…

encoded: Meghan Markle has impeccable manners. Within a few weeks of marrying Prince Harry, she’d already sent out her thank-you letters – including a heartfelt one to young British cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason. With his stunning, emotional performance at the royal wedding, playing three pieces as the newlyweds signed the register at St George’s Chapel, this unassuming Nottingham teenager seemed to encapsulate the spirit of the day and its nation-bonding mood of optimism and love. “It’s a really nice letter,” he reveals, with characteristic humility. “Really personal. It was an amazing experience to play at the wedding and nice to know how much the music meant to them.” In providing a perfect soundtrack to the nuptials for more than 12 million viewers in Britain and many more worldwide, he may also have helped change more than just the perception of classical music in the UK and beyond. Because not only did he put the cello at the heart of a wedding in which the likes of Elton John and George Clooney played walk-on roles as guests, but he was also part of a royal celebration that had black faces to the fore, from the Rev Michael Curry, the African-American bishop who preached the sermon, to the Kingdom Choir, who sang the R&B classic, Stand by Me. “I was bowled over when Meghan Markle called me”: meet the 19-year-old cellist playing at the Royal Wedding Brilliant Bad Lip Reading video reveals what was really said at the royal wedding When is First Night of the Proms on TV? “It was really great to have such a range of music and so many different types of performances, which could be inspiring to more people,” he says. “It wasn’t just the fact that it was diverse, but the level of performances was so high – the gospel choir, for example. It was great to be part of, and of course it was a pretty inspiring crowd to play for!” View oEmbed on the source website Sales of his debut album Inspiration, which came out earlier this year, have not only smashed the UK charts since the weddi…

Are the BBC Proms licence fee money well spent?

description: The annual festival of classical music and more costs the BBC £5 million. Is what we get back in return worth it? asks David Crawford
encoded: By David Crawford In the furore over the level of pay awarded to some of the BBC’s top stars, a few other figures that might interest licence payers were overlooked. Take the BBC Proms, for example. Finding exact numbers in the Corporation’s annual report is a bit tricky, but RadioTimes.com can reveal that annually the Proms season costs £10 million to stage. Around half that is recouped through ticket sales, leaving a £5 million net cost to the licence fee payer. It was ever thus. When the BBC took over the running of the Proms in 1927, it was because the previous sponsor Chappell & Co felt it could no longer bear the cost at a time when profits were down (which, ironically, was blamed on the new culture of broadcasting inhibiting concert-going). The BBC agreed to take on that first season with a projected loss of £3,100 (around £175,000 in today’s money). Yet, despite the long relationship between the BBC and the Proms, it could be argued that putting on an eight-week concert season is not a primary concern of the British Broadcasting Corporation. So should part of the licence fee be subsidising Proms ticket prices, as it has been for 90 years now? Let’s break down just how much that subsidy works for the licence fee payer, with some rough calculations worked out on the back of an envelope. For the financial year 2016/17, the BBC received £3.7 billion in licence fee revenue, with £5 million (or 0.132%) going to cover the cost of the Proms. So each person paying £147 for a colour TV licence contributed 19p to subsidise the season. That means the 300,000+ people who attended the Proms in 2016 were each able to save around £20 if you compare the price of a ticket in the stalls with what you’d pay at a regular concert at the Albert Hall. Three hundred thousand is a small percentage of the roughly 25 million people who buy licence fees each year though – so is the majority propping up a niche service for a niche audience? “The BBC’s mission is to educate, inform and en…

description: Confused by classical? Musician and comedian Vikki Stone is here to help
encoded: Perhaps the first thing to be said about the BBC’s Proms Podcast is it SO isn’t Radio 3. Now Radio 3 has changed a lot in recent years; anyone who associates it with stuffiness just hasn’t been listening. But the network’s new-found accessibility can’t — and wouldn’t want — to hold a candle to the Proms Podcast, which is aimed at a completely different type of listener and doesn't resist a laugh. If you’re in any way a purist, or pride yourself on your classical music knowledge, you should probably stay away. I think it might annoy the hell out of you. As presenter Vikki Stone says, tonally speaking there’s nothing else like it in the world of classical music. The podcast is a product of the BBC Music department rather any particular network, and it’s being given a slot on the Mary Anne Hobbs show on 6 Music on Sunday mornings, which is when each new edition will be released. The podcast’s "Prom Date" feature gives you an idea where it’s coming from. Each week Stone invites along a date to the Proms — someone for whom the Proms are pretty much a closed book. In the first podcast in the 2017 series, her guest was the comedian Nick Helm. He was baffled that a piece of music might last as short as six minutes. Stone's future Prom dates include Richard Osman of Pointless fame, and the singers Imogen Heap and Sophie Ellis-Bexter. View oEmbed on the source website Stone was the natural presenter for the podcast when it launched at the start of the 2016 Proms season. A classically trained musician and composer, she is also a comedy performer, and while there’s frivolity in almost her every utterance you can also tell that she knows her stuff and really cares. Perhaps crucially, she doesn’t alienate the professionals she speaks to. “I remember last year waiting behind another interviewer to interview the conductor Thomas Søndergård and he’d had to be all serous,” she recalls, "and then you could see him starting to smile the moment I started talking to him.” She is particul…

description: Jonas Kaufmann, the world’s No 1 tenor, will shake things up at the Albert Hall
encoded: Even in 2015, seven whole decades after the war ended, the fact that a German tenor is to lead the Union Jack-waving faithful through Rule, Britannia! at the Last Night of the Proms invokes a frisson of intrigue and surprise. “C’mon, it’s an old song but a great one and if they don’t have a problem hiring a German to sing it, why should I have a problem myself?” Bavarian superstar Jonas Kaufmann responds cheerfully. “I’ve never performed it before. I’ll have to study hard in advance, of course; everyone watching will know the words so much better than I do.” And back in his homeland, what have they made of the news that their famous son will sing this nationalistic British anthem? “Disappointingly, no one seems to have noticed so far,” he chuckles. “But transmission of the Proms extends far beyond the Channel so I guess they’ll hear it when it happens. Let’s see then what they have to say.” In demand throughout the world and with a schedule planned as far as six years ahead, Kaufmann now frequently attracts the label “the world’s greatest tenor”. “It’s flattering, but I was frightened the first time I was described that way,” he admits. “What seems an honour can also quickly become a burden. For decades people have been prophesying the end of opera so the arrival of any new star means fresh hope. But it’s too much for one person to carry that flag on their own. And anyway opera will never die. If we treat it carefully and don’t try at any cost to drag it into the modern world, it’ll be just fine.” It was as a teenager on holiday in Norway that Kaufmann got his first taste of the Last Night experience. “We switched the TV on and there was this cheering, swaying crowd. I assumed it was a pop concert. But no, Pomp and Circumstance was being played. How lovely to remove the crust of formality and tradition and to see classical music being enjoyed for what it can be, just fantastic entertainment. I’m extremely thrilled to finally be a part of it.” View oEmbed on the sour…

description: The culmination of a year-long initiative to get young children interested in classical music was an inspirational spectacular
encoded: This is a Prom like no other. A troll stalks through the audience throughout the concert, cackling witches wheel and whirl their way across the stage, a phoenix soars around the Royal Albert Hall auditorium and Dick and Dom crash spacecrafts into the Hall. There's also the utterance of the unforgettable line — surely never before heard at a Prom — "Shall we show Dick how to blow a raspberry?" It's a head-spinning multi-media spectacular that acts as a climax to the BBC's worthy year-long Ten Pieces initiative to get primary school children enthused about classical music by introducing them to ten easily accessible pieces of music (more on them later). The pieces are played here by the BBC National Orchestra of Wales under conductor Thomas Sondergard, which was also the orchestra that featured in the BBC's Ten Pieces film that launched the initiative. The music may be the focus, but to keep young minds from wandering each piece is introduced by a team of boundlessly energetic CBBC stars: Barney Harwood, Dick and Dom, Dan Starkey (Wizards v Aliens) and Molly Rainford (from Friday Download) — oh, and that troll. Their energy helps build the enthusiastic response to the music: imagine a concert hall reverberating to the sound of a packed audience singing the first eight notes of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony. But the real stars of the show are the children who were inspired by Ten Pieces to produce their own music, some of whom get the rare privilege of being invited on to the Royal Albert Hall stage to perform. First up is 11-year-old Evelyn and her school friends Emma and Sophie from St Mary's Primary School in Maguiresbridge, Fermanagh, whose composition Equinox is a violin-led piece that wears its inspiration from Beethoven's Fifth lightly. Just as inspiring as the music is to hear Evelyn talk about how she picked out Beethoven's motifs and pizzicatos for her own piece. The next contribution from schoolchildren really sends a shiver up the spine, as hundreds of kids fr…
