(composition inspired by nature)

Part 1

Aimed at 13+

Join composer James Williams as he leads 4 music sessions entitled “Making the Garden Sing”. From Bach to Beethoven, from Mahler to Messiaen, so many of our great composers have taken the great outdoors as their inspiration. Whether you live in a city, a town, a village or in the country, your environment is packed full of delicious sounds waiting to be turned into music. In each 20min session, composer James Williams will learn from the great composers of the past and show you how you can make music inspired by the sounds you hear every day, using objects from around the home and garden.

He will be live outdoors hunting down inspiration and being careful to avoid the wolves!
