The corporation confirmed on Friday that it’s “suspending” the proposal to close the group, and that the BBC Singers will also appear in this summer’s annual classical concert series, the BBC Proms.
The corporation received widespread criticism for its shock decision earlier this month to shutter the BBC Singers, which is the U.K.’s only full-time professional chamber choir. The group sings in many classical music events around the country, and also employs a long list of freelance singers. The BBC said it will continue to work with the Musicians’ Union and other BBC unions about its proposals for its English Orchestras, which are still facing a 20% cut to salaried positions.
