Like no other event, Night of the Proms bridges the gap between all musical genres. It is precisely this mix that sets it apart from all other concerts and makes it an incomparable experience. The fact that every year many of the more than 100,000 people secure tickets for the shows in advance without knowing which star guests await them is an expression of the fans' trust in the quality of the shows, which has grown over the years and been confirmed time and again.
The tour organiser does not see itself as a missionary for classical music. ‘Our credo is: the best of 300 years of popular music,’ says the Munich-based tour organiser, describing the idea behind it. Neither the musical genre nor the composer plays a decisive role. The music presented is music that inspires and was or is very popular in its respective era. ‘If you look at the records of Mozart's life, you will find many parallels with today's pop stars,’ adds Vereecke. It is precisely this mixture that Night of the Proms thrives on.
