Join C麻豆官网首页入口鈥檚 Naomi Wilkinson as she presents a musical adventure for all the family 鈥� the Ten Pieces Prom.

The 麻豆官网首页入口 Symphony Orchestra, the 麻豆官网首页入口 Singers and the Ten Pieces Children's Choir conducted by Rafael Payare perform this year鈥檚 selection. Music by the great composers including Dvorak, Stravinsky, Elgar, Copland, Sibelius and many more. Naomi is joined on stage by actors Josie Lawrence as Molly and Paapa Esiedu as the incredible composer Joseph Bologne. Bologne was born in Guadaloupe the song of a slave.

Here the top names in classical music share the stage with school children and young performers from around the country. Tony Hall, Director-General of the 麻豆官网首页入口, says: 鈥淭en Pieces is the biggest commitment the 麻豆官网首页入口 has ever made to music education in the UK and I鈥檓 so proud that it continues to inspire children to find out more about classical music.
