• 10:00 AM. BBC Proms 2012

  40 programmes from the world's greatest classical music festival

  (16) Manchester Chamber Choir, Northern Sinfonia Chorus, Rushley Singers, BBC Phil/Juanjo Mena

  Juanjo Mena presents a major world première before offering his acclaimed reading of a sonorous yet dangerously eruptive Bruckner symphony. First though, there's the emblematic love of Tristan and Isolde, expressed through music dark in sound and revolutionary in harmony. James MacMillan's works have enjoyed regular success at the Proms since the first performance of The Confession of Isobel Gowdie was given there in 1990. As with Bruckner, MacMillan's communicative power is often associated with expressions of faith, and the unveiling of Credo, has been keenly awaited

  Philosophy Talk

  Presented by Ken Taylor and John Perry of Stanford University

  Six programmes

  (5) Civil Disobedience

  Thoreau, Gandhi, and Martin Luther King all engaged in civil disobedience, and are widely admired for doing so. But how can democratic society function if each person's conscience has to be satisfied for a law to be obeyed? When is civil disobedience justified? When is it required? How does the concept fit with the great ethical and political philosophies? John and Ken discuss the ethics of protest and punishment with Kimberley Brownlee from the University of Manchester (Ben Manilla Productions)

• 8:00 PM. Music Alive

  BBC Proms 2012

  40 programmes from the world's greatest classical music festival

  (17) ELGAR: The Apostles

  Leading Elgar interpreter Sir Mark Elder directs a stellar cast and large-scale choral forces, reviving a major work of the British choral tradition

  Elgar conceived The Apostles as a schoolboy, but the project came to fruition only in 1903, after both The Dream of Gerontius and a visit to Bayreuth to hear Wagner's The Ring and Parsifal. Elgar explores the inner feelings of Judas Iscariot with dramatic intensity, and Christ's anguished cry from the cross becomes a wordless lament

  Blessed Virgin/Angel Gabriel.... Rebecca Evans

  Mary Magdalene........................ Alice Coote

  St Peter...................................... David Kempster

  St John/Narrator......................... Paul Groves

  Jesus........................................... Jacques Imbrailo
