Plato told us “Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything.”

Napolean Bonaparte said “Music is what tells us that the human race is greater than we realise"

Frank Zappa simply said “Music Is The Best”

Have you ever wondered exactly what Music is? Where does it come from, who defines it and what does it mean to us?

"The Big Note" goes beyond the surface of popular hits or classical standards, embracing a spirit of curiosity and exploration. We will celebrate the global diversity of music and the rich tapestry of sounds from different cultures and traditions. From traditional folk tunes to world fusion experiments, we'll bring you on a sonic adventure that transcends boundaries and connects us through the universal language of music.

Your input, requests, and questions are welcomed as we embark on this exciting exploration of all things musical. Tune in, turn up the volume, and let the symphony of "The Big Note" fill your ears, heart, and soul. Get ready to be inspired, entertained, and enlightened as together we uncover the captivating stories and sounds that make up the fabric of our musical heritage and understanding.
