The Queens Platinum Jubilee - 70 Years is the very first high-profile event to take place in this unprecedented year of celebrations marking the Queens seventy years of service.
Hosted by the BBCs Sophie Raworth, it will feature music performed by the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra, conducted by Mike Dixon.
Works by Great British composers including Edward Elgar, Benjamin Britten and William Walton will take centre stage, with a focus on music played at Her Majestys 1953 Coronation and other key moments of the Queens reign.
With 130 visits to the Royal Albert Hall during her lifetime, this event holds particular poignancy.
