“Reflecting the city we live in through art and music”

“Music is both an art and a science, and music and science are closely related. Both use mathematical principles and logic, blended with creative thinking and inspiration to arrive at conclusions that are both enlightening and inspirational. It could be said that science is the music of the intellect, and music is the science of the heart.”

An inspiring performance for students!
