The Chronicles
At Noda BCVS, one concert follows another. But each is different, unique. Over the course of the season, five centuries of music will feature, with the keenest spotlight shone on Beethoven, whose immortality has been cause for celebration for 200 years! Created for the curious: The Chronicles give a deeper understanding of the main issues in our musical history and its masterpieces.
In 2026-27, The Chronicles are organised around major themes and explore the rich and multi-faceted interactions which link music to the world that surrounds it, to society and to our own individual perceptions. Each theme will be covered in two one-and-half-hour sessions, allowing you to explore each musical phenomenon as thoroughly as possible. The first, in the form of a formal lecture, will introduce the key concepts. The second, more interactive, will provide a full selection of musical examples with comments, accompanied by live musicians.

The Laboratories
Scientific and musical interactions
Music represents a real crossroads between emotions and reason; is it an art? Or a science? The Laboratories straddle the boundary between two worlds, an open door into the factory of our emotions; and we are keen to hear your views, too. Musicians are joined on stage by scientists, to discuss, experiment and reflect for around 1h15, seeking to put a finger on those feelings which make each and every one of us unquestionably human.
