Scots finale for proms season

DUNDEE will tonight host the Scottish leg of the Last Night of the Proms on a giant screen.

The rousing, traditional finale to the BBC's concert season in London will feature a performance by Renee Fleming and the world premiere of a new work by Jonathan Dove.

Jiri Belohlavek will conduct his second Last Night, which will as usual feature such well-loved works as Rule, Britannia!, Jerusalem and Land Of Hope And Glory.

As well as Dundee there will be Proms In The Park events in Swansea and Salford. Audiences for this year's BBC Proms have reached an all-time high, new figures showed yesterday.
