Coverage spans the entire Western classical tradition from medieval plainchant to contemporary commissions, plus world music and jazz. The station champions British composers — Edward Elgar, Benjamin Britten, Ralph Vaughan Williams, Henry Purcell, Gustav Holst — while maintaining the broadest international scope of any classical broadcaster. The annual BBC Young Musician competition and the BBC Proms Season provide unmatched cultural programming.
