Brit classical music

You don't have to go to Britain to enjoy BBC Proms. BBC Concert Orchestra will give two concerts at the National Center for the Performing Arts in Beijing, under the baton of Barry Wordsworth (pictured) and feature the cellist Julian Lloyd Webber. A regular at the BBC Proms, the BBC Concert Orchestra is one of the UK's most versatile ensembles. It has been the house orchestra for BBC Radio 2's Friday Night Is Music Night since 1952. And every year, they perform outdoors in the park on the last night of Proms. Conductor Wordsworth has served as its principal conductor since 1989 and became conductor laureate of the BBC Concert Orchestra in 2006.

7:30 pm July 23 and 24. National Center for the Performing Arts, West of Tian'anmen Square, Xicheng district, Beijing. 010-6655-0000.
