It’s hoped that a day of science-inspired events culminating in a big bang of a performance of The Mighty Sky on Thursday March 19 will spark the imaginations of future scientists and musicians.

Kirklees is one of only two music education hubs invited to help launch the project in the UK with Ms Chapman.

It is taking place at Huddersfield Town Hall.
