From electric guitars to synthesizers, learn how musical instruments shaped the sounds of rock and roll.

Our Social Programme creates a friendly environment where everyone is welcome, and all contributions are valued. Sessions are online via Zoom. We will start with a time to chat and share a virtual tea and cake. This will be followed by a short presentation by the Learning Engagement Curator of St Cecilia’s Hall around the theme of the session. A lived streamed musical performance rounds off the session with a bit of time at the end for questions for our musicians. All our Social programmes are inspired by our collections, build confidence, inspire creativity, and are focussed on having fun. They are suitable for those who might be regular visitors, those who have always loved visiting, as well as those who have never come to our museum before.
