Antwerp transformed into a living musical piece. Determine your own route through the city, accompanied by music from the BBC Philharmonic, with a performance by the Belgian National Orchestra as the highlight. A unique, captivating concert experience. This concert will start at 19:30 at various meeting points. Antwerp as one great musical piece. City of Floating Sounds by Huang Ruo is not a standard concert: you become part of a moving orchestra yourself. With an app you follow your own musical line through the city, performed by the BBC Philharmonic. As the groups cross each other along the way, everything merges into a rich, constantly changing soundscape. What you hear depends on the route you choose and the people you meet along the way - thus the city itself becomes the stage. The walk ends in the Blauwe zaal, where all lines come together and the music comes fully to life, performed by the Belgian National Orchestra under the direction of Jessica Cottis. A unique, adventurous concert experience in which city, audience and orchestra together form one vibrant whole.
