Whether you’re in need of electronic music, a cosy record fair or witnessing the Rugby World Cup final, we’ve got you covered with regards to what, when and where.
What: Eclectic electronic music with 20-piece live orchestra

Worakls, a French DJ, took an interesting spin in his career after studying classical piano at the conservatory before going on to produce electronic music. From the conservative auditorium he suddently jumped onto world stages at techno festivals. Yet, at the end of the day, he has not drifted for off from his early upbringing and education; his electro beats are filled with classical elements.
On this night then, Worakls will also be joined on stage by an orchestra of 20 musicians. It will be a majestic, powerful, upbeat and dancable evening, and tickets are still on sale on the venue website.

What: Learn about microfossils with real paleontologists and biologists

Ever heard of microfossils? They tend to be so small that you can only see them with the help of a microscope, but during this event you’ll be able to hold them in your hand!
Head out to the Museum of Natural History on Sunday afternoon for a very cool yet unusual experience. Ben Thuy and Lea Thuy-Numberger, together with the science club, will teach youngsters between the ages of 11-18 all you need to know about microfossils. Maybe you’ll even qualify as a real paleontologist at the end of the day.
