SATURDAY 4 AUGUST
Proms Saturday Matinee 2Time: 3.00pm - c4.30pm Venue Tickets £12 & £15, day seats £5 
Broadcasts
A selection of string classics, including Elgar's Serenade, whose broad, melodic second movement is every bit as affecting as the composer's Cello Concerto or Enigma Variations. There are more composer anniversary celebrations, with Grieg represented by his lyrical Holberg Suite, while the Music for Strings by Elizabeth Maconchy (a pupil of Vaughan Williams, born 100 years ago) returns to the Proms for the first time since its world premiere in 1983. Finzi's delightful Clarinet Concerto is performed by one of Britain's leading exponents.
There will be no interval
Michael Collins clarinet Detailed notes about the music will be available one hour before the concert. Prom 29: National Youth Orchestra of Great BritainTime: 6.30pm - c8.45pm Venue Tickets £6-£27.50 
BroadcastsBroadcast on BBC TWO. Prokofiev's Piano Concerto No.1 recorded for broadcast on BBC ONE. Live on BBC Radio 3. Available as audio on demand for the following week. American composer Aaron Jay Kernis's wild showpiece, New Era Dance – commissioned for the 150th anniversary of the New York Philharmonic in 1992 – opens the annual Prom given by the precociously talented National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain. Prokofiev's ebullient First Piano Concerto which he completed and performed at the age of 21 is a far cry from Shostakovich's epic 'Leningrad' Symphony – taken as a beacon of protest against the Nazi invasion of Russia – which received its Western premiere during the 1942 Proms season.
Interval
