On Monday 27 March there was a spectacular performance of the 'The Mad Scientist's Songbook', which was created by Portsmouth Music Hub's team of composers.

During an evening of explosive music and dance at Portsmouth's Guildhall, in front of a packed auditorium, hundreds of children from 12 schools from across the city put science under the microscope.

Fossils, skeletons, elliptical orbits, magnetism, seeds and teeth were just some of the subjects brought to life by the cast of young performers, and there was even a song about the journey of our food after we've eaten it which was a firm favourite with the audience and particularly the young cast.

'The Mad Scientist's Songbook' is just one of a series of award-winning songbooks, composed by Portsmouth Music Hub to support teaching in schools.
