Welcome to Conducting Science – Voice Box! We’ve all got a voice, but do you know how it actually works? Today’s concert includes some frankly fascinating facts, exhilarating on-stage experiments and cracking operatic tunes. We’ll also be using our own voice boxes to sing along with the London Philharmonic Orchestra! So warm up those vocal cords, strike your best diva pose and get ready to enter the laboratory!

We look forward to seeing you again soon.
