CBBC @ the Ten Pieces II Prom
A spectacular celebration of Ten Pieces of classical music from Bach to Bernstein, featuring the BBC Philharmonic, a massed children's choir, dancers, big screens and special guests - fun for all the family from the Royal Albert Hall.
Hosts Naomi Wilkinson and poet Lemn Sissay are joined by former footballer Dion Dublin, and Newsround reporter Leah Boleto is on the trail of mysterious flaming rings in central London - something to do with Wagner's Ride of the Valkyries. Actor Dan Starkey plays the part of Joseph Haydn, with the over-eager 18th century composer constantly interrupting proceedings to humorous effect. Music, storylines and surprises weave around them...
The BBC Philharmonic is conducted by rising star Alpesh Chauhan and young musicians from the Greater Manchester Musical Hub play side-by-side on two pieces. A 400-strong Ten Pieces children's choir - assembled from schools around the country - joins in for a thunderous Dies Irae from Verdi's Requiem. Wayne Marshall gives the famous Royal Albert Hall organ an airing with Bach's Toccata and DJ Mr Switch shows his scratching skills in 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 former BBC Young Musician Matilda Lloyd makes her Proms solo debut with Haydn's sprightly Trumpet Concerto.
The creativity of the nation's children is on show with performances of their own art, musical compositions and dance. The extraordinary Able Orchestra - a group including children with severe disabilities - create their own music and visual composition, the Animate Orchestra perform their lively piece of mixed musical styles, dancers from Wildern School in Southampton interpret Shostakovich's thrilling 10th Symphony and a brother and sister act from Somerset play their flute and piano melody.
The Prom is the fittingly exuberant finale of the second year of the BBC's biggest ever music education initiative, which takes classical music to young people across the UK in fresh and exciting ways. It brings the acclaimed Ten Pieces II film to life as an exciting theatrical experience for all the family.
