Tom Service presents a performance of Elgar's much-loved Cello Concerto, composed in the wake of the First World War, with French cellist Jean-Guihen Queyras as soloist. The Prom begins with Edward Gardner conducting the BBC Symphony Orchestra and Chorus in a performance of the choral miniature For A Soldier's Funeral by French composer Lili Boulanger. The final piece is Vaughan Williams's cantata Dona Nobis Pacem, a beautiful but heart-breaking exploration of the violence of war, as part of this season's focus on the centenary of the end of the First World War.

The legendary Senegalese cultural icon Youssou N'Dour and his band Le Super Etoile de Dakar take over the Royal Albert Hall for this special Late Night Prom. The singer, composer, occasional actor, entrepreneur and political activist has been thrilling audiences for over 40 years. For his Proms debut, he brings his distinctive sound of Mbalax, a fusion of jazz, soul, Latin music and rock blended with sabar, the traditional drumming and dance music of Senegal. This largely acoustic performance will spotlight N'Dour's spine-tingling vocals and demonstrate why he is considered the first superstar of world music.
