Remarkable Guide to the Orchestra
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 Â鶹Éç Scottish Symphony Orchestra perform a musical and visual extravaganza for all the family in June. CÂ鶹Éç's Kirsten O'Brien and Â鶹Éç 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 Â鶹Éç Singers no later than this Friday.
The new Â鶹Éç SSO 09/10 Season brochures are available to download at bbc.co.uk/sso.
