Just in: BBC extends Finn to 2030

Just in: BBC extends Finn to 2030

The BBC Symphony Orchestra has renewed the contract of chief conductor Sakari Oramo by five more years. He has been in charge since 2013. He will conduct the Last Night of the Proms again this Saturday on live TV.

Sakari says: ‘here’s an aspiration, shared by all parties at the BBC, to take the orchestra forward to its centenary in 2030. Big things are planned for the hundredth anniversary and around the orchestra’s move to what will be its purpose-built home at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. We will work hard to establish our presence in that part of London and attract a local audience to the new BBC Music Studios. It’s a great opportunity to take what the BBC Symphony Orchestra is about to a diverse community, especially as we enter prepare to our second century. I am genuinely excited by the potential and the possibilities’.
