Youth choirs from the UK and Ireland, including from Derry-Londonderry, UK City of Culture 2013, join the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain and principal conductor Vasily Petrenko.

Tickets to this free Prom will be available from 9.00am on Friday 28 June. You can purchase up to four tickets per booking.
