Radio 3 relays Prom 12 live

Spend a fun-packed, riotous morning in the company of Peter Duncan, Gemma Hunt, the BBC Philharmonic, youth choirs and the funky Bollywood Brass Band. Our concert includes Connie Fisher singing My Favourite Things, the blazing brass of Copland's ceremonial Fanfare for the Common Man and Elgar's 'Land of Hope and Glory' – a traditional Last Night of the Proms favourite. This year's Proms Shakespeare theme also makes an appearance in classics inspired by Romeo and Juliet from Prokofiev and Bernstein – and there’s even Stravinsky's arrangement of 'Happy Birthday To You', written for the 80th birthday of conductor Pierre Monteux, but here marking the 80th anniversary of the BBC's association with the Proms.

There will be one interval.

Jamboree!

Debussy's sultry, Mallarmé-inspired Prélude opens the second of Thierry Fischer's two all-French Proms, which features acclaimed cellist Steven Isserlis in Saint-Saëns's Concerto No. 1.A pupil of Saint-Saëns at the École Niedermeyer, Fauré graduated with his serene, prize-winning Cantique de Jean Racine recently featured in BBC ONE's series 'The Choir'. Twenty years later came his touching Requiem, with its angelic 'Pie Jesu'.
