BBC Proms favourite Chineke! Orchestra is back on the Royal Albert Hall stage for a concert of music by Beethoven and celebrated American composer George Walker, whose centenary falls in 2022.

The ensemble is Europe's first majority black and ethnically diverse orchestra, and has become a mainstay of the Proms since its 2017 debut.

The musicians are under the baton of German conductor Kevin John Edusei, and are joined by the recently formed Chineke! Voices to perform Beethoven's epic Ninth Symphony. International soloists Nicole Cabell, Raehann Bryce-Davis, Zwakele Tshabalala and Ryan Speedo Green complete the line-up.

Clive Myrie presents, with special guests.

The Proms season heads towards the finishing line in this BBC centenary year with a blockbuster celebration at the Royal Albert Hall. Superstar cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason and Norweigan soprano Lise Davidsen join the BBC Symphony Orchestra and conductor Dalia Stasevska in a lively mix of party pieces and lesser known works, with a dash of the new.

Presented by Katie Derham with Robert Rinder and other special guests, this first half of the night's celebrations features music by Verdi, Coleridge-Taylor, Wagner and Grieg, as well as the rarely performed Snofrid by Sibelius, a theatrical work which sees leading actor Dame Harriet Walter take to the stage. There's the world premiere of a new work by rising star James B Wilson, specially commissioned to commemorate the centenary of the BBC, and the whole night kicks off with a bracing overture by Poland's 'first lady of music', Grazyna Bacewicz.

The concert continues on BBC One.
