Remarkable Guide to the Orchestra
| 10:00 UK time, Tuesday, 12 May 2009
Bill Bailey takes a light-hearted look at how the orchestra works and the lesser-known influences of various classical composers in his Remarkable Guide to the Orchestra.
A remarkable orchestra itself, the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Scottish Symphony Orchestra perform a musical and visual extravaganza for all the family in June. CÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½'s Kirsten O'Brien and ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Scotland's Heather 'the Weather' Reid present a musical journey round Our Planet, mixing music, science and geography.
And you can get involved with the SSO, singing Haydn's The Creation in a special Listen Here! event in June. Previous experience of choral singing is not essential but be quick, register your interest for this unique chance to join members of the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Singers no later than this Friday.
The new ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ SSO 09/10 Season brochures are available to download at bbc.co.uk/sso.
