The BBC says it will relocate its concert orchestra and some Proms out of London as part of efforts to better reflect the country as a whole.
It also plans to establish a music calendar that is "more rooted across the UK".
The musical staples are among whole departments and programmes that will be shifted to other centres, including Birmingham, Glasgow, Leeds, Cardiff and Salford.
Director General Tim Davie said: "Now, as we look to the future, we must play our part in supporting social and economic recovery; rebuilding the creative sector and telling the stories that need to be heard from all corners of the UK."
