Last Night of the Proms

BBC1 takes over live coverage of the spectacular finale to the 2001 Prom season. The BBC Symphony Orchestra's American conductor, Leonard Slatkin, lends a transatlantic theme to proceedings, which include John Adams's Short Ride in a Fast Machine and a Sousa march made famous by Monty Python. American mezzo-soprano Frederica von Stade makes her Proms debut with Canteloube's Songs of the Auvergne and the evening concludes with the traditional sing-along, joined by those gathered at Proms in the Park locations around the country. Presented by Stephanie Hughes. [Editor's note: The programme was subject to change due to 9/11. These details, from the billing in the Radio Times, may be incorrect.]
