The project will culminate in a 75 minute concert which will be performed to more than 2,000 local children from key stage 2 and 3.
It will include a range of music including Mozart’s Horn Concerto No.4 and film music from Pirates Of The Caribbean, as well as the music that the young people would have chosen for themselves.
Phil Woods, who plays in the horn section of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and helped to lead the project, said: “I am so inspired to work with children who love music and its surrounding activities.
“It will be fantastic to come to the concert in March and find out what this lot have in store for us.”
The project is being delivered by RPO Resound, the longest-running orchestral music outreach programme of its kind.
Ruth Currie, project organiser, said: “Making quality orchestral experiences and learning opportunities accessible to new audiences is intrinsic to our work as an orchestra.
“We are delighted to be working with young pupils to design and deliver such an innovative learning concert.”
The orchestra will perform the Film Music Gala, at The Baths Hall, Scunthorpe, on Thursday, March 7, at 7.30pm.
Tickets are £15 to £30. To book, call 0844 8542776 or visit www.scunthorpetheatres.co.uk
