Bio Orchestra Project needs musicians
Local artist, Gayle Storey, is collaborating with a composer from the Royal College of Music to produce a bio orchestral score of music from Luton’s environment.

The bio orchestral music will be performed at various venues in Luton and also at the Royal College of Music in London.
