Wires, Strings & Other Things
Meet Ed, Andreea and James, three totally different people with one thing in common – they are crazy about music and sound. Anything can happen as they find each other and start to invent music together. What stories will they share when, with your help, they explore the magic and mystery of how to compose, perform and improvise?
Wires, Strings & Other Things, conceived and created by Brian Irvine and Wouter Van Looy, is a music performance that encourages you to listen, respond to, and communicate through the sounds, music and stories that are all around you – wherever you are and whoever you are with. For ages 6+ | 55 mins
