A musical journey through the use of genetics in healthcare, in collaboration with HIVE Choir, the Centre for Human Genetics, and the Centre for Personalised Medicine, University of Oxford. Part of the Festival of Social Science.  If you’ve experienced genetic testing, or are curious about how genetic data affects health, or how collaborative music-making can deepen our understanding of these issues, this event is for you. Join us for this unique experience.

If you would like to join us for the song writing workshop on the afternoon of 2 November at Pegasus please contact us on: cpm@well.ox.ac.uk

Genetics is being used more and more - from ancestry tests connecting long-lost relatives to tests guiding medical treatments. While this holds promise for improving our health and well-being, the experiences of those whose lives have been affected by such testing suggest a more complex reality, with uncertainty or with challenging implications. 

Researchers from the Centre for Human Genetics have partnered with HIVE Choir to turn this research into a repertoire of songs, capturing the complexities of genomic data, what it means for our everyday lives, and for wider society. The choir will perform these songs, along with a new piece composed in a song-writing workshop with those whose lives have been shaped by genetic testing, including families supported by the international rare gene disorder charity, Unique.

The performance will be followed by a lively panel discussion, featuring a diverse range of experts and perspectives.

Running Time 90 mins + post show discussion

Note this event is free - with limited capacity - if you book a seat and then change your mind please email boxoffice@pegasustheatre.org.uk so we can release your place to someone else  - thank you
