Take an exclusive tour backstage at Studio Bell and see music come to life in the National Music Centre’s recording studios! Catch a behind-the-scenes glimpse at the working spaces of our world-class recording facilities* and hear the stories behind notable artifacts — spanning 450 years of music innovation and technology — guided by NMC’s talented music educators. Visitors will gain insight into some of NMC’s most treasured items — that few members of the public have seen — from the earliest instruments in the NMC Collection, such as a 16th century Trasuntino Harpsichord, to modern electronics, like TONTO, considered to be the ‘holy grail’ of synthesizers. Plus, you’ll get to see the legendary Rolling Stones Mobile Studio, where countless hit records were made. • Studio Bell admission is required. • Space is limited and first-come, first-served.
