Seeing music
This event is part of the Royal Society's Summer Science Exhibition Lates 2019.
See music as you never have before in a special violin performance by Kaitlyn Hova.
As a synesthete, Kaitlyn sees musical notes as colours and shapes. Every note she plays is like a paintbrush, and a song can transform into a colourful landscape. By using a violin that lights up with the colours she sees, Kaitlyn invites you to enter her cross-sensory world and experience music in a brand new way.
