James Naughtie introduces live coverage from London's Royal Albert Hall.
This year's Proms have explored the countryside and nature. Tonight the London Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Sir Colin Davis, perform a programme linked by a pastoral theme that includes Sibelius's late tone-poem The Oceanides, Sir Michael Tippett's The Rose Lake and Beethoven's Symphony No 6 the Pastoral.
During the interval Sir Colin Davis talks about his life and work. The concert can also be heard on BBC Radio 3.
