After two-years of smaller-scale shows due to COVID, the BBC Proms is back, and this year’s talent will feature Ukrainian refugees

An orchestra of Ukrainian refugees will take centre stage at this year’s event.

The newly-formed Ukrainian Freedom Orchestra features players who recently fled the war.

Ukraine is granting an exemption to the military-age male musicians, allowing them to leave the country and in order to play.

Organisers of the event say the orchestra will “honour those who have died” in the ongoing war with Russia.

The orchestra will perform at the Proms on 31 July, two weeks after the Proms season launches.
