BBC Music is to release the Ten Pieces secondary film in October as part of a wider campaign to encourage more young people to listen to classical music.
The film features the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra alongside soloists such as Nicola Benedetti and Alison Balsom performing the ten classical pieces of music at the centre of the initiative.
According to the broadcaster, the film is designed to act as a gateway to orchestral music and features the likes of Radio 1 presenter Clara Amfo, actor Bobby Lockwood and poet and broadcaster Lemn Sissay.
The campaign is being delivered nation-wide in collaboration with an existing network of more than 250 music hubs, music education services and arts organisations.
Nicola Benedetti said: ‘I see first-hand on a regular basis the powerful impact music has on children. It is vital that it forms part of a child's education and Ten Pieces Primary was a brilliant initiative which helped to ensure the potential of every primary school child having access to classical music.
‘Ten Pieces Secondary offers a route in to the genre for 11-18 year olds and I am thrilled to continue to be a part of it.’
From Monday 28 September to Saturday 10 October, BBC Radio 3 will also present a special Ten Pieces season.
