Pauline, it's "The Proms," a classical music festival at Royal Albert Hall, with concerts broadcast by the BBC. They bill is as: "The world's greatest classical music festival with over 70 concerts at the Royal Albert Hall and live on BBC Radio 3." You can find more than you ever wanted to know by Googling The Proms. The BBC website should be the first thing that pops up. A social summer tradition not unlike Wolf Trap in D.C., and Tanglewood in Mass., although the concerts are indoors and the focus is strictly classical.

You live in Bethesda, don't you? You should be able to get WBJC-FM in Baltimore (91.9). They play nonstop classical music--and far more interesting stuff than WETA thought to program. Cheers, Kathy (not a Brit)
