Ukraine is granting an exemption to the military-age male musicians, allowing them to leave the country and play.
Other Proms highlights include:, tracing the history of gaming from classical console games of the 1980s to last year's Battlefield 2042 - including a premiere from The Joker composer Hildur Guðnadóttir , hosted by Chris Packham, celebrating the work of David Attenborough and the BBC's Natural History Unit , led by the Jules Buckley Orchestra.
The Proms will team up with Radio 1 Relax for an evening of stripped-back acoustic performances on 16 July; while the CBeebies Prom will return for what's described as "an underwater family adventure" on 23 July. And there will be an immersive Prom, held in London's Printworks, based on tenor Roth Constanzo's album ARC - which imagines a collaboration between George Frideric Handel and Philip Glass. The multimedia concert will also feature live painting by George Condo, soundscapes by Jason Singh, costumes by Raf Simons, choreography by Justin Peck and the world premiere of a new work by Philip Glass.
She will be joined by superstar cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason and Lise Davidsen, the Norwegian soprano who has been described as having "a voice in a million".
