Connect with nature! Reach out and touch real plants to play these unique organic instruments.
The Musical Plants are new experimental instruments that combine organic matter and bespoke digital sensors developed by Playable Streets. For the first time these, plant-based instruments are available for the public to play and create new live compositions.
Swelling with textural waves and phasing rhythmic movement, The Musical Plants will be unlike any musical instrument you have ever seen, heard or played. The Musical Plants installation is open to everyone to interact with, explore and make new collaborative compositions.
This event is suitable for all ages. No bookings required.
On select evenings, join us for free outdoor performances by The Musical Plants and musicians from the Willoughby Symphony Orchestra.
Performance days:
Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays
Performance times:
6 pm, 7 pm and 8 pm
Performances have a running time of 25 minutes.
