September 25, 2010: LIVE 09:05 UTC+0

The Last Night of the Proms has become an annual tradition for Queensland Symphony Orchestra audiences and always ends with a rousing chorus for those both on and off stage of Elgar's essential Land of Hope and Glory. This year the old favourites by Elgar, Vaughan Williams, Parry and Arne are in place-but 2010 is no ordinary year. We feature a very special guest in a program that pulls out all the stops to make it one of our best Last Night of the Proms ever!
