British TV presenter Katie Derham has been announced as the host of All Together Now: The Great Orchestra Challenge on BBC Four, which starts at the end of August.

The new show sees orchestras performing, and then being judged, to different music each week, and Derham commented 'I feel so lucky through this series to be seeing at first hand the spirit and passion that goes into amateur music-making up and down the UK. I've played in a number of amateur orchestras myself, so it comes as no surprise, but it's incredible to witness the sense of community, energy and joy felt by those who come together to perform in these orchestras'.
