Synopsis

Two teams of five talented young musicians are paired with a Radio 1 DJ and a musical expert to help them make a classical piece into something a contemporary audience will appreciate. Along the way, they're given challenges, such as orchestrating pop records for a military band.

The series was designed to promote music in all its forms - the youngsters played instruments ranging from a 'cello to a kanonaki (a small harp-like instrument) and the human beat-box.

Trivia

The teams chose to re-work these pieces of music:

Team Bobby: "O Fortuna" (from Carmina Burana, set to music by Carl Orff)
Team Nihal: "Danse Macabre" (written by Camille Saint-Saƫns)
