The connection between colour and music goes back to Aristotle, and composers have conceived music as colour ever since. Using piano demonstrations and a trove of audio excerpts, Jonathan James will illustrate how music – keys, tonalities, chords and tone – can be ‘seen’ and how colour, for some late Romantics and early modernists, became the frontier for exciting exploration.

Dr Jonathan James is a music educator and writer who lectures in concert halls throughout the UK, presenting for orchestras and BBC Radio 3. He also runs creative workshops and directs the Bristol Pre-Conservatoire, an evening school for talented young musicians.

This event will take place at The Broadway Museum on the High Street
