This winter, join Bristol Beacon and musicians from the London Symphony Orchestra’s LSO Discovery programme for an interactive workshop open to everyone aged 5 to 200.
Inspired by Thea Musgrave’s electrifying score Phoenix Rising, the session will explore themes of transformation – from darkness to light, mystery to illumination – through sound and collective music-making.
You’ll have the chance to try out different instruments, experiment with moods and textures, and create something new together in the room. No prior musical experience is needed, just curiosity and enthusiasm.
All generations are welcome, and if you have an acoustic instrument you’d like to bring along, even better. A unique chance to play, listen and discover with LSO musicians.
