Clive Anderson hosts Maestro’s first studio challenge as the seven remaining famous amateurs with a passion for classical music do battle with their batons, conducting the BBC Concert Orchestra.

The students step up to the podium to conduct music for film and television in front of the panel of expert judges: Sir Roger Norrington (conductor of this year’s Last Night Of The Proms at London’s Royal Albert Hall), composer and cellist Zoë Martlew, conductor Simone Young and double bassist Dominic Seldi.

Once the final note is played, the Orchestra votes, deciding which one of the students will be taking their final bow as they are knocked out of the competition for good.
