Superstar violinist Nicola Benedetti takes to the stage at the Royal Albert Hall tonight with a very special Proms premiere performance of a concerto written specially for her by American jazz legend Wynton Marsalis.

Also featured are Bernstein鈥檚 kaleidoscopic Symphonic Dances from West Side Story and a blast of salty ocean air in Britten鈥檚 Four Sea Interludes from Peter Grimes.
