The Proms usually commemorate music anniversaries. Their virtual cancellation today means we won’t get a chance to hear:

Cyril Scott (d. 1970)

Peter Racine Fricker (b. 1920)

Roberto Gerhard (d. 1970, pictured)

Thomas Campion (d. 1620)

Ned Rorem (b. 1920)

Franz Lehar (b. 1870)

Bruno Maderna (b. 1920)

Luciano Chailly (b. 1920)

Tartini (d. 1770)

Vieuxtemps (b. 1820)

Moscheles (d. 1870)

Josef Strauss (d. 1870)

Max Bruch (d. 1920)

Louis Vierne (b 1870)

Florent Schmitt (b. 1870)

Novak (b. 1870)

Godowsky (b. 1870)

Bartok (d. 1945)

Reznicek (d. 1945)

John Adams (b. 1945)

The biggest losses are Maderna, Gerhard and Fricker, who are unlikely to get much of a hearing anywhere else.
