It's that time of the year again...

Opening weekend of the BBC Proms is done! We've made it through a long rig week, First Night of the Proms, which included a critically lauded commission by composer Ben Nobuto, an entire Prom celebrating the 1970s New York Disco scene with the BBC Concert Orchestra, a matinee of the The King's Singers and Voces8, and finally an orchestral celebration of Nick Drake with the BBC Symphony Orchestra.

Our Sound Designer Stephen Hughes and Head of Project Delivery Cara Smith have been hard at work with our amazing mix engineers, radio technicians, stage teams and system engineers to make this year's festival sound better than ever.

As ever, the application of the best technology is a key part to our delivery, and we've deployed a refined version of our previous L-Acoustics L-ISA design whilst using brand new DiGiCo Quantum Q338 mixing consoles to further refine the sound.

It's OK to tell the team they can have a lie down at the end of September, right?

Last week, the BBC officially launched the program for the 2024 BBC Proms season. Eight weeks of world-class music from some of the finest orchestras from across the UK and around the world. Audiences can look forward to 90 Proms, demonstrating an extraordinary breadth of classical and orchestral music.

Today, Delta Live proudly announces the renewal of its contract with The BBC Proms to provide live audio services for the prestigious classical music festival. With over thirty-five years of experience in delivering award-winning audio solutions for live events and broadcasts of all scales, Delta Live continues its legacy of excellence in the industry.

The relationship between Delta Live and the BBC Proms spans many years, marked by a deep understanding of the iconic venue, The Royal Albert Hall, and a shared commitment to upholding the cultural significance of the world's largest classical music festival. Following a rigorous retender process initiated by the BBC, Delta Live emerged as the successful bidder for the upcoming Proms season.

Stephen Hughes, Account Director for Delta Live and Sound Designer for The Proms season explains,

“We are so pleased to be able to draw upon our experience and knowledge once again to augment the audience experience at the Proms, and make it as transformative as possible. We are music fans first and foremost, and to be a part of the world's largest Classical music festival is a huge point of pride" .

Cara Smith, Head of Project Delivery for The Proms, underscores the value of Delta Live's expertise in classical music and seamless collaboration with broadcast teams.

“Delta is thrilled to be able to further invest in this project. We have an expertise in classical music as well as an ability to work harmoniously with broadcast teams, and reliability in tight deadlines. We work with creative teams to provide the knowledge base, supplying equipment, engineers and logistics to ensure that the shows sound as good as they possibly can.”

Delta Live's internal team comprises some of the most talented sound designers, project managers, and support staff from across the UK. Their collective experience in meeting the unique audio demands of the BBC Proms reinforces Delta Live's position as a trusted partner for prestigious and complex events.

As Delta Live continues to expand its project portfolio, the renewal of the BBC Proms contract reaffirms its dedication to delivering unparalleled audio solutions and elevating live experiences for audiences worldwide.
