Nature’s Great Events is a flag-ship BBC natural history series, narrated by David Attenborough, focusing on the planet’s most breathtaking natural events, and following the dramatic wildlife stories behind them.

As part of the celebrations for the re-opening of Bristol’s Colston Hall in 2009, Ben and Barnaby Taylor’s score was performed by the BBC Concert Orchestra with a live narration by David Attenborough. The music was adapted by the composers into a series of orchestral suites, and accompanied specially edited footage from the series on a huge cinema screen.
