Music students at Clacton County High School have been picked to work on a unique project with the BBC Proms 2003.
Musicians from the BBC Symphony Orchestra will be in school for three days to help the students compose, perform and record a soundtrack, which will be featured in a gallery at the Royal College of Art.
The track, together with visual art and poetry from two other schools, will be used before and after the concert and during the interval of the Prom 13 at the Royal Albert hall.
The musical work forms part of a project called Memory Spaces and is based around the work of one of America's most admired composers, John Adams, whose Pullitzer prize-winning work On the Transmigration of Souls marked the first anniversary of New York's September 11.
Memory Spaces aims to show how students can express their reactions to contemporary events and the American composer will also be visiting the school to explain his work.
