The concert, which starts at 7pm, will see musicians play classical orchestral instruments alongside more modern musical equipment, such as iPads and Skoogs, an electronic instrument designed to be used by players with special needs.
This unusual combination of instrumentation will combine to create a unique world premiere performance of this brand new composition.
For many of the youngsters, this will be their first appearance on a real theatre stage and also offers an enviable chance to play alongside classically trained professionals.
Tickets are still on sale for this remarkable concert, priced at just £5 each, from the Guild Hall box office on 0845 344 2012. Children go free with an adult.
