The event is being held for The Zane Lowe show on BBC Radio One on Wednesday 10 September, 7:00pm.
The concert launches this year’s BBC Philharmonic Presents… series, a celebration of orchestral music in its many different guises.
The four-piece instrumental collective will team together with guest singers, a choir and the orchestra to perform a brand-new arrangement, orchestrated by composer Joe Duddell, of their debut album New Eyes which features the hit tracks ‘Rather Be’ and ‘Extraordinary’.
The concert will be broadcast live on BBC Radio 1 on Wednesday 10 September between 7:00pm and 9:00pm.
Commenting on the forthcoming concert, Professor Duddell said: “It’s great to be part of the ‘BBC Philharmonic Presents…’ series again.
“It’s all about the orchestra trying to reach out to different audiences through broadcasting on each of the major BBC networks and this one with Clean Bandit for Radio One has been fascinating to work on.”

The Masters MMus Composition course at Bath Spa is led by Professor Duddell and fellow composer James Saunders with both composers bringing their current professional knowledge and experience of a variety of international new music contexts to the course.
