Sorry, but since BBC snubs N American SWLs - and others, I must again recommend
listening at your pleasure for the next 364 days via:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand/b007v097
Furthermore these would not be edited down to fit into a less than one-hour slot

Programmes:
30/31 July: Music for Royal Occasions
In the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee year the BBC Concert Orchestra and BBC Singers
present a celebration of music and royalty in all its splendour: from the music
of the Tudor court to the 21st century, by way of Handel’s majestic Coronation
Anthem, Elgar's ever-popular Pomp and Circumstance March, choral music by the
current Master of the Queen’s Music Judith Weir and a specially commissioned
new work by Cheryl Frances-Hoad..
6/7 August: Ukrainian Freedom Orchestra
The Proms welcomes the newly formed Ukrainian Freedom Orchestra who come to
London as part of a tour of Europe and the USA. The orchestra, led by the
Canadian-born conductor Keri-Lynn Wilson, is composed of Ukrainian players from
a dozen orchestras in both their besieged country and elsewhere in Europe. They
will be joined by two leading Ukrainian soloists for a concert that showcases
the artistry and resilience of Ukrainian musicians. The concert programme
reflects the current situation through 19th-century works: Russian occupation
of Poland prevented Chopin from returning to his homeland and Beethoven’s
Fidelio celebrates the triumph of love and freedom over injustice.
13/14 August: Gaming Prom
This year, the Proms dips its toes for the first time into the vast ocean that
is video games music. Although written originally for the small screen, games
music has long been a success in the concert hall too. 1990s classics from the
Japanese masters of the form Koji Kondo and Nobuo Uematsu regularly sell out
large venues, Austin Wintory’s Grammy-nominated Journey has now become a
fully-fledged symphonic poem as has Hildur Guðnadóttir’s and Sam Slater’s
recent score for Battlefield 2042. The selection of games music for this Prom
is curated by the young British conductor Robert Ames noted for his pursuit of
fruitful exchanges between the classical tradition and contemporary music.
The programmes to be broadcast 20/21 and 27/28 August have not yet been
announced.
