the Finnish conductor
at the forefront of calls to ban the anthems Rule Britannia and Land of Hope and Glory from this year's Last Night of the Proms
has pledged support for Black Lives Matter and is married to a rock star, it emerged today.
Dalia Stasevska is preparing for the biggest night of her career on September 12 when she conducts the BBC Symphony Orchestra at London's Royal Albert Hall.
But preparations for the concert have been overshadowed by a huge row over proposals to drop Rule Britannia and Land of Hope and Glory from the evening.
This year's conductor Miss Stasevska, 35, from Finland,
is said to be keen to modernise the evening's repertoire and reduce its patriotic elements.
A BBC source told the Sunday Times:
'Dalia is a big supporter of Black Lives Matter and thinks a ceremony without an audience is the perfect moment to bring change.'
She has also spoken out in praise of Democrat US politician Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez:UMM2: and once retweeted a Time magazine front cover about Greta Thunberg.
