Alison Balsom makes her Proms presenting debut with a concert of musical postcards from the Americas. Featuring Dvorak's New World Symphony, Arturo Márquez's Trumpet Concerto and Venezuelan virtuoso Pacho Flores performs on four different types of trumpet.

Anita Rani introduces a concert that sees sitar superstar Anoushka Shankar join forces with conductor Robert Ames and London Contemporary Orchestra to perform an orchestrated version of her Chapters trilogy. Each Chapter of her three albums is inspired by one of the three countries she has called home, and the trilogy sonically carries the listener from afternoon, to night, to the dawn of a new day.
