Six instalments by Kwantlen Polytechnic University (KPU) and Science World will kick off June 15 at the TELUS World of Science with the world-renowned Borealis String Quartet on how construction methods and materials influence an instrument's sound. Spanning the 16th-18th centuries, the event will take guests on a musical journey through history and the etymologies of well-known string instruments.

The series is a collaboration between KPU and Science World, and is in part funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC).
