Collaborations with the Dana Centre

The New London Orchestra has collaborated on a number of events at the Dana Centre, a unique venue in London which stages informative and engaging events about science, technology and culture.

Since its ‘Music and the Mind’ festival, which put the Orchestra on the map as an organisation at the cutting edge of scientific research relating to music, partnerships have developed with key scientists in this area. The Dana Centre is a perfect forum for public engagement of science, and music is a valuable tool in engaging people in a range of subjects.
