who is this hilariously funny orchestra?

Today i accidently heard part of a tune and all day tried to find who plays it.
Let me describe it. It was an orchestra playing a very well-known classical piece all out-of-tune just for the fun of it. It was hiloriously funny listening all those brass instruments playing very seriosly with wrong tones. Of course these guys are doing this for the fun of it so what i am trying to find is not a piece that is done poorly but a piece that some real proffesional musicians playing wrong just for the fun of it. I really need to know who these guys are to find more about their performances.

thank you.

When Peter Schickelie taught at Julliard,he made up a fictional composer named PDQ Bach and used it as a teaching device to make fun of compositional mistakes, by means of contrasts.

They gave performances and put up posters announcing the concerts. They invited people to attend an "Evening of Fine Music.....and PDQ Bach."
