Our Classical Century

Our Classical Century brings together the greatest moments in classical music in Britain over the last 100 years in a four-part series that celebrates moments of extraordinary music ambition and excellence, deep emotion and of great pleasure, and the artists who have brought audiences this music. Over the course of the series, viewers will see and hear how, over the past one hundred years, classical music has shown dazzling virtuosity and innovation, and how music provided a unifying soundtrack to the times when national identity and destiny was at stake. The series, which has been produced by Lion Television, is one of the most ambitious single commissions for classical music, using resources across the BBC including the BBC Orchestras and Choirs. “We will explore how classical music has comforted and defined the UK in difficult times and we will re-live the artistry of performers and composers who have brought outstanding experiences in classical music to audiences.” - Jan Younghusband, Head of Commissioning, BBC Music Television
