Aco Virtual
ACO VIRTUAL uses state-of-the-art technology and features projections of 13 of the ACO鈥檚 acclaimed musicians. Audiences are surrounded, with the sound of each musician coming from the direction of their individual projections. A touch-screen 鈥渕usic stand鈥� allows you to spotlight and listen to one musician, a section of instruments or your desired selection of players. You step 鈥渋nside鈥� a concert and are immersed in a cinematic experience, surrounded by the musicians and manipulating what you hear and see.
The musical score can be turned on to stream along the bottom of the screen, meaning anyone who plays an instrument can play along with the ACO, even standing in for Richard Tognetti himself. A smartphone application further enriches the experience with information about the music, the ACO musicians and their instruments.
The work runs for 30 minutes and comprises carefully selected music by Bach, Grieg, Smalley and Piazzolla, designed to maximise the opportunity for audience participation. It delivers a unique and inspiring learning environment, giving you the opportunity to engage with 鈥� and learn from 鈥� world-class musicians you may not ordinarily have the chance to see performing on stage.
Featuirng Artists: Cristina Dio, Michela Ledwidge, Mish Sparks, Richard Tognetti and Simon Lear.
