Building on the success BBC Music's ongoing Ten Pieces for Primary, which has already engaged more than half of UK primary schools, the BBC is extending the groundbreaking initiative to secondary schools. The aim is to open up the world of classical music to children aged 11 and above, inspiring them to respond creatively to the repertoire.
This is your chance to view a new, inspirational cinematic film featuring stunning footage of a real orchestra performing a new selection of orchestral music, representing a wide range of styles and eras relevant to the music curriculum. Each piece is introduced by celebrity presenters known to the age group, using an engaging mix of live action and animation.
After the screening, you and your students will have the opportunity to meet a member of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, listen to them perform extracts of some of the Ten Pieces repertoire and ask questions about what it is really like to be an orchestral musician!
