A musical scale serves as a fundamental building block for the creation of melodies and harmonies in various musical practices. It is a hierarchical collection of pitches that span multiple octaves. The origin of these scales is a topic of fascination – were they invented or discovered? In this lecture, Professor Milton Mermikides explores the history, theory, and artistry behind the construction of scales in different styles. He delves into how each scale can form a vibrant and expressive palette of modal colors through a process called "rotation". If you're interested in this enlightening event, titled "The Colour Spectrum of Scales and Modes", you can watch it live online or attend in person in London. The event will take place at LSO St Lukes, located at 161 Old Street, London, EC1V 9NG. The lecture will be held on February 22, 2024. Tickets will go on sale starting January 22, 2024, at 09:00.

Best Things to Do

Night view

M33***70

It is definitely worth going. You can deeply feel the profound British culture and the importance Britain attaches to talents in various fields such as science, culture and art. When we went there, we queued for less than an hour to get in. The order arrangement in the venue was very reasonable and the Chinese translator was very useful.

The British Museum

Night Attractions

M29***10

I can attest to this: when visiting museums, you absolutely must purchase an guided tour. This morning I visited the British Museum. Luckily, I wisely chose the more expensive premium guided tour. Diana&#39;s explanation was lively, engaging, and undeniably professional. She not only told you what you saw but also provided an accessible explanation of the history behind the exhibits, allowing you to appreciate the characteristics of different cultures and even compare them with Chinese civilization. Diana, like a wise woman, not only shared the stories behind the exhibits but also showcased the unique humanistic appeal of Britain and the insights of someone who experienced it firsthand. Her profound knowledge and deep understanding of Beijing culture made us feel truly moved and reluctant to leave. My fellow travelers immediately decided to listen for an extra hour. Diana also shared the best camera angles, guaranteed to make your photos go viral on social media.

This is a well-deserved attraction, ideally allowing at least two hours. It&#39;s grand yet unassuming, and historical yet not outdated. Each step is incredibly difficult to take, and the scenery is breathtaking. You won&#39;t want to stop until you&#39;ve seen enough. Photography is not permitted.

The view was beautiful. However the length of visit was a bit short compared to ticket price (personal perspective)
