Travel with us on a magical musical tour to find out how the development of musical instruments changed the sound and the style of music we listen to.
Help create new sounds for the live band and experience playing a musical instrument yourself. Listen as our band of musicians re-create songs from artists like Pink Floyd and Beyoncé exploring the origin of the sounds used and the cultural heritage they came from and create.
