The annual series of concerts for primary and post primary schools; ‘The Colours of Music’ presented by Evelyn Grant and the Cork Pops Orchestra on Wednesday 8th March at 10am and 12 noon in City Hall, Cork.
This year students are invited to explore and experience The Colours of Music with the Cork Pops Orchestra. Happy music, sad music, peaceful music, or dramatic music – all these different kinds of sounds evoke an emotional response, which often correlates to colour. People tend to pair fast music in major keys with lighter, more vivid yellow colours, whereas slow music in a minor key is more likely to be associated with darker, bluer colours. Then, there are the fascinating accounts of composers and artists who have synaesthesia – a neurological condition through which the listener ‘hears’ music as ‘seeing’ colours.
