Highlights from the Ten Pieces II Proms 2016
The Ten Pieces II Proms took place on Saturday 23 July and Sunday 24 July in London.
If you didn't manage to see them live, you can catch them again on BBC Radio 2 on the 2nd September and on CBBC on the 11th September.
For the second year running the BBC classical music initiative, Ten Pieces, took over the world-famous Royal Albert Hall and this year students aged between 10-14 performed their own creative responses and became a part of the BBC Proms.
