The BBC Concert Orchestra are the stars of the show, hosted by Paul Gambaccini, which includes a show-stopping turn from the percussion section.

In tonight's special edition of the show, the BBC Concert Orchestra are the undisputed stars of the show, as Friday Night Is Music Night shines a spotlight on the orchestra and its soloists.

Richard Balcombe conducts tonight's box of delights which includes All The Things You Are, Rumpole Of The Bailey (arranged specially for the orchestra's bassoon players), and a show stopping turn from the percussion section.

Paul Gambaccini hosts the show, which was recorded at the Mermaid Theatre. Due to adverse weather conditions, tonight's scheduled Friday Night Is Music Night with Rhydian has been cancelled.
