Cynthia Erivo – Legendary Voices (BBC Proms)

Multi-award-winning star of stage and screen Cynthia Erivo takes the Proms by storm as she sings the great American songbook of the 1950s and 60s. Backed by the BBC Concert Orchestra, she celebrates the legendary female voices that have shown her the way - artists such as Nina Simone, Shirley Bassey, Billie Holiday, Etta James, and Gladys Knight. From showtunes to pop, from soul to French chanson, expect big iconic anthems of love, loss and transformation. Andi Oliver presents from the Royal Albert Hall in London, and is joined by special guests Clarke Peters and Ayanna Witter-Johnson
