BBC Radio 3 Presenter Nick Luscombe and Tokyo FM’s Ken Nishikawa offered the Festival a BBC Proms Experimental Session featuring an eclectic mix of artists such as Carl Stone and Akaihirume, Sugai Ken, Emiko Miura and Masanori Oishi.
Outside of the concert hall, musicians presented interactive musical workshops to children in Yokohama as part of the BBC Proms Education Project as well as a free concert on the streets of Shibuya enabling music to be enjoyed by all in an accessible and intimate way – one of the key values of the BBC Proms Festival.
