For the first time, the BBC Proms dedicates an entire concert to gaming music. Conductor Robert Ames leads the electronically enhanced Royal Philharmonic Orchestra in this specially curated programme that takes audiences on a sonic journey from 8-bit to infinity.

Nostalgia for millennials is guaranteed as the concert opens with two newly commissioned compositions that weave together 1980s and 1990s gaming music, from Chronos to Pokémon Red, as well as instantly recognisable digital sound effects.

The lush orchestral scoring of Final Fantasy VIII and Kingdom Hearts form the centre of the programme, which culminates in the European concert premiere of Hildur Guðnadóttir and Sam Slater's experimental score for Battlefield 2042.

Game on!

Petroc Trelawny and special guests introduce a Prom that promises to be one of the most poignant and moving of the season as the Royal Albert Hall becomes the first stop on a world tour by the newly formed Ukrainian Freedom Orchestra, following their inaugural concert.

Assembled by Canadian-Ukrainian conductor Keri-Lynn Wilson, the orchestra includes musicians from Ukraine and brings us works by Ukrainian composer Valentin Silvestrov alongside Chopin, Beethoven and Brahms. With world renowned soloists Liudmyla Monastyrska (soprano) and Anna Fedorova (piano).
