Is it possible for musicians from the BBC Concert Orchestra to make beautiful sounds out of garbage? For the first time, an entire orchestra of 44 instruments is built from scrap. The quest is more than just a musical spectacle - the film delves into the history of instrument making and the science of music, why different instruments are made the way they are and why some designs haven't changed for hundreds of years.
