History just keeps on repeating itself\u2026<\/p>\n\n

The death of Queen Elizabeth II on 8 September was followed by silence at the Royal Albert Hall, as the decision was made to cancel the Last Night of the Proms and the Philadelphia Orchestra\u2019s BBC Prom the previous evening too. Though cancellations have been comparatively rare in the great festival\u2019s 128-year history, they are not entirely unknown\u2026 <\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Unsurprisingly, the outbreak of the Second World War <\/span> <\/span><\/strong>in 1939 brought an immediate end to that year\u2019s Proms, a cessation announced by conductor Henry Wood at the end of the concert on 1 September. In those days, the Proms season ran from mid-August until early October, so a total of 31 concerts were lost. There was also a mid-August start to the Proms 40 years later, though in this instance things should in fact have already been in motion since mid-July. As it was, a musicians\u2019 strike<\/span><\/span><\/strong> <\/span> in protest at the proposed abolition of five BBC ensembles including the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra put paid to the first 19 Proms of the 1980 season. 2022\u2019s cancellation was, alas, not the first suffered by the Philadelphia Orchestra. The US ensemble was due to play Beethoven\u2019s Ninth Symphony at the Proms in 2006, but a small fire<\/span><\/strong> <\/span> at the Albert Hall put paid to the building\u2019s electrical wiring, and no \u2018Ode to Joy\u2019 was heard. In contrast, some Proms do continue against expectations. These include the Last Night on 15 September 2001, whose programme was radically altered in the light of the 9\/11 <\/span><\/strong><\/span>terrorist attacks in the US. <\/p>\n\n
