CBBC - Ten Pieces, Ten Pieces II

Ten pieces of orchestral music are brought to life.

An immersive family film mixing a celebrity cast with magical animation, live action and stunning close-up performance to bring ten pieces of orchestral music to life.

Classical music but not as you know it... Ten Pieces II is an exciting and immersive family film that mixes a celebrity cast with magical animation, live action and stunning close-up performance to bring ten pieces of orchestral music to life.

In this follow-up to 2014's award-winning Ten Pieces, rising star Alpesh Chauhan conducts the BBC Philharmonic alongside members of the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain in Manchester's atmospheric Victoria Warehouse. Special guests are the Halle Choir, violinist Nicola Benedetti, trumpeter Alison Balsom and DJ Mr Switch.

Christopher Eccleston explores Wagner's dramatic Ride of the Valkyries, Pixie Lott dances to the beats of Bernstein, James May introduces a favourite piece of Bach, Radio 1's Clara Amfo navigates Gabriel Prokofiev's cutting-edge Concerto for Turntables and Orchestra and former footballer Dion Dublin commentates on Haydn's musical moves. Stories weave around the music via motorways and meadows, a nightclub, a football pitch and a church, travelling from Stalin's Soviet Union to the swinging streets of New York, from suburbia to Armageddon.

A thrilling musical ride on a grand scale.
