MusicLab on Island for first time

Monday, 13 October 2014 00:00

21 schools across the Island are taking part in a pioneering music project run by the London Philharmonic Orchestra.

This week will mark the first time the MusicLab has travelled outside of mainland Britain.

It's a 13.5 metre bus full of interactive technology which allows people to find out what it's like to be a composer, musician or producer.

As well as visiting schools there will be a public open day on Saturday at St Ninian's Lower School.
