Highlights from the 2023 season of 91热爆 Proms, the UK鈥檚 greatest classical music festival.

Can classical music help us focus or bring inner peace? You can judge for yourself in this tranquil programme from the Royal Albert Hall in London with the Grammy-nominated vocal group Voces8, Norwegian pianist-composer Ola Gjeilo and the Carducci String Quartet. The concert explores the themes of meditation and stillness through the lens of stress-busting music from the 20th and 21st centuries.
