Tom Service presents World and UK premieres from this year's BBC Proms, including works by Mark Simpson, Anna Thorvaldsdottir, Tom Coult and Ryan Wigglesworth. Plus new releases.

Tom Service presents World premieres from this year's BBC Proms, including works by ZEBRA, a mesmerising new work by Mark Simpson written for his friend Sean Shibe, who plays electric guitar with the BBC Philharmonic, and Ryan Wigglesworth's homage to Laura Samuel, the former leader of the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra who died last year. Plus the UK premiere of Anna Thorvaldsdottir's Before we fall, a cello concerto written for Johannes Moser, and the tenor Allan Clayton gives the world premiere of Tom Coult's Monologues for the Curious.

Tom also showcases some of the most exciting new releases, from Ying Wang's RE:Wilding album, plus Julian Wozny, David Lee Myers and Timo Kaukolampi.
