BBC Two will feature a unique musical and television experience with “Ten Pieces,” a treat that will air on the channel Dec. 4. The special will also air on BBC Two’s live TV channel on FilmOn.
The special, filmed in a Cardiff aircraft hanger, combines classical music, live action and animation to create an inspiring moment for the whole family. The special, according to the official synopsis, will also include some of Britain’s biggest singers as well as a brand new composition.
“Thomas Søndergård conducts the BBC National Orchestra of Wales in performances of works from the baroque to the contemporary. They are introduced by a host of celebrities including Blue Peter’s Barney Harwood, CBBC’s Khalil Madovi, and singers Laura Mvula and Katy B, aided by playful and magical animation. The pieces range from Mozart’s Horn Concerto and the famed opening of Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony, to the driving rhythms of John Adams’s Short Ride in a Fast Machine. There is also a brand new body percussion piece, Connect It, specially commissioned for the project and performed by youth group Drum Works.”
