Music That Makes You Move, explores the links between music, movement, and kinaesthetic learning: a surefire recipe for getting our bodies moving after such a long time indoors. Like Romeo and Juliet, shoes and socks, bread and butter, music and our bodies are inextricably linked. Not only does music make us want to move our bodies, but our bodies are – at the most fundamental level – what create the music we hear. From sound waves hitting our eardrums, to the influence of breath on our heartbeat, to orchestral dance music you simply can’t sit still to, this concert follows our high-energy presenters through the history of music and movement: the Sydney Symphony Orchestra way!
