2. Harp Days Across the UK
Cambrian Harps is announcing a series of 8Discover the Harp9 sessions across the UK. The idea
is to start learning the harp in just half a day and go home with your very own harp so you can
continue your harp playing journey. The company is on a mission to show the country and the
world that the harp is not an elitist instrument, played only by the wealthy. It9s an accessible and
afordable instrument for all levels and ages. The sessions are particularly ideal for complete
beginners and more experienced musicians who want to try a new instrument. The session is
accredited for Step One 3 Harp, the entry level on the music grade path in Harp by the International School of Musicians. Hosted by friendly, highly experienced tutors, attendees will be
guided through the basics of harp playing to ensure they have a good grounding, that they can
take further, with lessons or on their own .If that already seems like a lot to pack into a short introductory course, the extras are an amazing bonus. Most notably, all people attending the course
will be gifted a Derwent Discovery 16 String Harp to take home and keep.

A new show, themed around 1973 Pink Floyd classic album Dark Side of the Moon explores
the powerful relationship between music and our minds. Brainstorms: A Great Gig in the Sky
has been creating waves since June. It is a joint venture between San Francisco-based creative
studio Pollen Music Group and Richard Wright Music Limited. It brings to life the results of the
Brainstorms research project that took place last autumn. Driven by a mutual admiration for the
beautiful and haunting simplicity of Pink Floyd keyboardist Richard Wright9s songwriting, the
Brainstorms team has themed the experience around the concept behind the iconic Pink Floyd
track 8The Great Gig in the Sky9. A music experience like no other, visitors will travel through the
four main Frameless galleries which each feature stunning sky-themed creative visualisations of
the human brain9s response to music, from mesmerising cloud formations and mystical auroras
to starling murmurations and an eclipse. The whole experience has been designed to communicate how people respond to music, while enhancing the listening experience by enveloping
individuals inside the songs like never before.
