TUESDAY 31 JULYProm 24: BBC Scottish Symphony OrchestraTime: 7.00pm - c9.10pm Venue Tickets £6-£27.50
Broadcasts
Broadcast on BBC FOUR Sibelius's tone-poem evoking the Finnish god of the woods – which received its UK premiere nearly 80 years ago – and Debussy's sensual impressionistic seascape frame two further pieces that were first introduced to audiences at the Proms. Britten himself was the soloist in his Piano Concerto at its world premiere, while Varèse's Ecuatorial, with its swooping ondes martenots, had to wait more than 30 years for its UK premiere, also at the Proms, in 1966.

Broadcasts
The Music Director of Paris's Ensemble Intercontemporain makes her Proms debut with the UK's leading new music ensemble. Boulez's characteristic revisiting of earlier works has resulted in a substantially expanded second revision of his Dérive 2 for 11 players. Birtwistle's Neruda Madrigales, a BBC co-commission first performed at the Aldeburgh Festival in 2005, is a melancholic yet sensuous setting of the Chilean poet's Ode to the Double Autumn.
