Live from the Royal Albert Hall, Petroc Trelawny and Georgia Mann present the concert which kicks off the summer's Proms season. The music includes Mendelssohn's Hebrides Overture, Bliss's Birthday Fanfare and Sibelius's majestic Violin Concerto, performed by soloist Lisa Batiashvili. A world premiere by Errollyn Wallen - The Elements - starts the second half, followed by Vaughan Williams' powerful Sancta Civitas with tenor Caspar Singh, baritone Gerald Finley, and the BBC Singers and Symphony Chorus. Sakari Oramo conducts the BBC Symphony Orchestra.
