A performance at the BBC Proms was disrupted on Friday after pro-Palestinian protesters interrupted the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra (MSO) at the Royal Albert Hall.
The group, Jewish Artists for Palestine, halted the concert for more than 10 minutes by unfurling black fabric banners from the upper tiers of the venue. The handwritten signs read “complicit in genocide” and “Jewish Artists for Palestine”, prompting the BBC to apologise for the disturbance.
