Ocean Song Workshop in the Cambridge Museum of Technology on Sunday 21st June 2pm to 3.30pm
Ocean Song – Sounds of the Sea – led by voice teacher Rowena Whitehead and Dr Roz Wade from the Zoology Museum
Come along and sing in an extraordinary acoustic setting of Cambridge’s Victorian Sewage pumping station by the River Cam. We’ll be singing a sea shanty or two, and singing about WATER, exploring how marine animals produce and perceive sounds, and exploring our own voices and the sounds we make. This is a participatory workshop whose sounds will be recorded to be combined with natural sounds from local waterways, woven together by Chris Watson, the internationally renowned sound artist, renowned for his work on the David Attenborough Life series & Frozen Planet. These recordings will create a unique soundscape to form part of the installation for the foyer to accompany the iconic finback whale in the newly refurbished Museum of Zoology when it reopens for the public in July 2106.
Suitable for 8 years to 108! Young and Young at Heart are Very Welcome!
