Playing the Exhibition: YST Conservatory at Sensory Odyssey

Featuring musical compositions for solo instruments, this performance programme will be presented as a site-responsive experience in the multi-sensory environment of the installations, voyaging from the rainforests in French Guiana to the Arctic glaciers.
