Arts: Promenade Concerts, which will be run by London University's

performances at the Royal Albert Hall, watching rehearsals and discussing
great works with leading musicians. </font></p>
<p><font size="1" color="#000000">John Deathridge, a professor of
music at King's College, said: "People might look at this degree
and think that it sounds quite interesting and sexy, but in fact
it's quite tough and involves a lot of work. It's certainly not
going to be about just sitting down and listening to a nice piece
of music." Core components will include how the Proms were founded
and its changing content, including the fluctuating popularity of
different composers. </font></p>

and communal singing, particularly in relation to the last night
of the Proms, in which the audience joins in the performance of
Elgar's Land of Hope and Glory. </font><font size="1" color="#000000">

is to open for daytime visitors for the first time in its 130-year
history. The move is part of a wide-ranging package of measures
to improve the venue in south Kensington for spectators and performers,
made possible by a lottery-assisted eight-year �66.3m refurbishment.

<p><font size="1" color="#000000">The chief executive, David Elliott,
said the refurbishment is "bang on target" for completion by the
end of 2003, with daytime visits set for the following year. For
less than �5, visitors will be offered a half-hour tour or backstage
tour by arrangement, use of new restaurant facilities and be able
to enter the building through its redeveloped south step. </font></p>
<p><font size="1" color="#000000">The Victorian auditorium, modelled
on the Coliseum in Rome, has remained open throughout the development
project to provide more backstage space and better ventilation.
