BBC Radio 3 - In Tune, Ten Pieces Special

Suzy Klein presents a special Ten Pieces edition live from Thomas Tallis School in London.

Suzy Klein presents a special Ten Pieces edition live from Thomas Tallis School in Blackheath, London, with the BBC Concert Orchestra, baritone Roderick Williams and DJ Mr Switch.

Building on the success of BBC Music's Ten Pieces for Primary, which has already engaged more than half of UK primary schools, the BBC is extending the initiative to secondary schools, aiming to open up the world of classical music to children aged 11 and above, inspiring them to respond creatively to the repertoire.
In this special edition of In Tune, live from Thomas Tallis School in Blackheath, London, Ten Pieces Ambassador Suzy Klein welcomes guests including fellow-ambassadors baritone Roderick Williams and DJ Mr Switch, as well as the BBC Concert Orchestra, conducted by Stephen Bell, and pianist Iain Burnside. They will all be performing live in the school hall for an audience of school children, some of whom will also have the chance to perform alongside the orchestra in some of the Ten Pieces, including the Mambo from Bernstein's West Side Story.
Other live performances include Vaughan Williams's The Lark Ascending, and a concerto for turntables and orchestra by Gabriel Prokofiev, featuring Mr Switch.

Also in the programme:
Ten Pieces ambassador Nicola Benedetti presents: Ten Facts Ten Pieces - a short downloadable feature linked to the BBC's Ten Pieces project, which continues to inspire a generation of children to become creative with classical music. This year the project focuses on secondary school children. Each day at 5.30pm Nicola finds ten quirky and entertaining facts about each of the Ten Pieces. Today's work is Shostakovich - Symphony No. 10 (2nd movement).

Live music and the arts: broadcasts more live music than any other radio network. Classical music is its core. Genres include world and new music, jazz, speech and drama.
