Tom Service and Kwame Ryan introduce a 150th anniversary tribute to Henry Wood, founder-conductor of the Proms. It features many of the works he premiered and arranged across almost 50 years of the festival, and reflects his wide musical tastes, from Wagner and John Ireland to Ravel and Percy Grainger.

Cerys Matthews introduces an evening of jazz, gospel and Broadway-style music from big-band giant Duke Ellington. The Nu Civilisation Orchestra, conducted by Peter Edwards, emulate Ellington's Sacred Concerts from the mid-60s, as the Proms premieres this brand-new version of the revered performances.
