The Hoffnung Symphony Orchestra
The great and the good wait in a concert hall that looks a bit like a combination of the Royal Albert Hall and the Coliseum, for the arrival of the orchestra's conductor. Much to their chagrin, he's late - but when he does arrive we all settle down to quite an amusing hybrid of classical musical themes played by people - some have some worryingly coloured green skin - whilst using their instruments to make music, drink beer, take phone calls - a multitude of additional functionality! We've a cracking tuba/harp combo too before a denouement to bring the house down. That conclusion didn't work so well for me, but the music editing is first rate and the quirky multi-purpose instruments work well to create a maelstrom of noise. Mostly tuneful noise, that is.
