About this event

Join Musinc and Aurora Strings for a 50-minute interactive concert, exploring music from film and video games.

You’ll learn more about the individual instruments, as well as how different musical techniques are used to represent moods and emotions.

This concert will support the following areas of the Model Music Curriculum:

– Musicianship: singing in unison, performing actions alongside song and moving in time to the beat
– Listening: a live performance of music from different traditions and composers, learning about the instruments as well as the stories, origins, history and social context of the music
Aurora Strings are the North East’s leading string quartet with years of experience in performing for concerts, private and corporate events and recording session. They were recently selected by Feva to regularly perform for their Candlelight Concerts in venues such as Durham Cathedral, Sunderland Minster and The Discovery Museum, Newcastle where programmes have included Hans Zimmer, Queen, Pink Floyd, Taylor Swift, ABBA, Coldplay, Adele and Vivaldi’s Four Seasons.

This concert will include live BSL interpretation.

This event is open to school groups and home educating families and has been designed with KS2 children in mind, although is suitable for all primary aged children.
