Education: Last bar

This year's School Proms, due to be held at the Royal Albert Hall from

4-6 November this year, will feature 33 of the country's most talented youth ensembles. They were chosen from more than 50,000 young musicians and singers who took part in 41 regional music festivals in the spring, 9,000 of whom then went on to the National Festival of Music for Youth in London last month.
