In their annual visit to the Proms, the talented young players of the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain perform an all-English programme. There's an exotic showpiece for Orchestra by the Orchestra's Composer in Residence, and Tippett's set of dances in celebration of nature, followed by Elgar's grandiose first symphonic outing.
Presented by Tommy Pearson.
