A performance by Melbourne Symphony Orchestra (MSO) at the BBC Proms in London has been interrupted by pro-Palestinian protesters.
Friday night's recital had just begun when the orchestra was forced to stop playing for more than 10 minutes due to the demonstration. It later restarted its performance.
Jewish Artists for Palestine, which describes itself as a group of "anti-Zionist Jewish writers, visual and performance artists" has claimed responsibility.
It said in a statement that the interruption was in rejection to "Zionist funding, censorship and complicity in our cultural institutions" over the Gaza war, including the MSO and the BBC. The MSO has been approached for comment.
The BBC apologised for the disruption but said it was dealt with "swiftly" by the Royal Albert Hall.
