Ten Pieces II

After the success of last year's Ten Pieces Prom, comes another spectacular and surprising multimedia celebration of classical music. Featuring orchestral performances, video animation, dance, drama and special guests - direct from the BBC Proms at the Royal Albert Hall.

The BBC Philharmonic conducted by rising star Alpesh Chauhan is joined by a 450-strong children's Ten Pieces Choir assembled from schools around the country. Wayne Marshall gives the famous RAH organ an airing for Bach's Toccata and Fugue, and DJ Mr Switch shows his chops on the decks for Gabriel Prokofiev's dynamic Concerto For Turntables And Orchestra.

American violinist Esther Yoo is the soloist for Vaughan Williams's spellbinding The Lark Ascending and winner of the BBC Young Musician of the Year Brass Category 2014 Matilda Lloyd makes her Proms solo debut with the sprightly 3rd movement from Haydn's Trumpet Concerto.

The coverage is presented by Michelle Ackerley and the show is hosted onstage by Naomi Wilkinson and writer Lemn Sissay, whilst music, storylines and surprises weave around them...former footballer Dion Dublin shows his skills...Newsround reporter Leah Boleto is on the trail of mysterious creatures in central London - something to do a magical ring and Wagner's Ride of the Valkyries...actor Dan Starkey plays the part of Joseph Haydn, with the over-eager composer constantly interrupting proceedings to humourous effect.

The creativity of the nation's children is again on show, with performances of their own art, writing, musical compositions and dance in response to the pieces.

The Prom is the fittingly exuberant celebration of the second year of the BBC's biggest ever music education initiative, which has taken classical music to young people across the UK in innovative ways. It brings the acclaimed Ten Pieces II film to life as an immersive theatrical experience for all the family.
