Soundabout at Science Museum
Science and Industry Museum | Manchester Science Festival and Turn It Up: The Power of Music
Soundabout’s Oxford and Beyond Inclusive Choir feature in Manchester’s Science and Industry Museum’s new exhibition ‘Turn It Up: The Power of Music’. Lead Choir Director Emma Hughes and choir member Sam represented Soundabout at the launch event on the 19th October 2022.
The exhibition explores the science of music’s mysterious hold over us and how it drives us to create, perform, feel and share. At the exhibition you can make music together and play with beat, melody and harmonies in a newly commissioned musical playground.
The exhibition looks at how music can trigger emotions and memories, whether it can affect what you buy, and even what certain songs taste like. It also looks at how technological advancements continue to push the limits of music and make playing music more accessible for everyone.
