Volunteers from the Aldeburgh Festival helped rehearse a group of schoolchildren from across East Suffolk in a performance of Anna Meredith's Connect It, one of the BBC Ten Pieces
Schoolchildren from across Suffolk participated in a BBC Ten Pieces Take Over Day yesterday. The event for Primary Schools was part of the 2015 Aldeburgh Festival, and staged in conjunction with the Suffolk Music Education Hub. School performing groups got the chance to perform their artistic responses to the music in the BBC Ten Pieces project before joining up to rehearse and perform Anna Meredith's participatory work Connect It.
Schools also got a chance to attend a BBC Symphony Orchestra rehearsal in which they heard another of the Ten Pieces - Storm from Peter Grimes by Benjamin Britten. The orchestra was performing at Snape Maltings Concert Hall as part of the Aldeburgh Festival. Their concert was broadcast live on BBC Radio 3 last night.
