Musicians from Sweden, Canada, London and Glasgow have been confirmed to play at BBC Scotland's Proms in the Park event this year.

They include the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, Swedish trombone virtuoso Christian Lindberg and Canadian soprano Measha Brueggergosman.

They will be joined by the Inverclyde Junior Choir which was in the finals of BBC Radio's Choir of the Year contest.

The concert is being held at Glasgow Green on Saturday 9 September.

Sally Magnusson and Jamie MacDougall will be hosting the event which is being held in Glasgow for the fourth year running.

The BBC orchestra will be conducted by critically acclaimed Robert Ziegler, from London.

Further artists are yet to be announced.

BBC Proms in the Park brings the Last Night of the Proms to more than one million people across the United Kingdom in Glasgow, Belfast, Manchester, Swansea and London.

Each location hosts a different programme of music, culminating in a live link-up with London's Royal Albert Hall and other the park events around the country.

Ms Magnusson said: "Proms in the Park is a highlight of my year - a wonderful evening of music, performance and communal fun."

Palma Allen, Inverclyde Junior Choir's conductor, said: "It's an honour for us to be asked to represent Scotland and Inverclyde on national television and it will be an experience which we shall never forget."

Tickets are free and will be available from Saturday by calling 08700 100160.
