Virtual Orchestra
Free Pop-Up VR Experience with the Philharmonia Orchestra

Family Friendly
Free
Participatory Experience
 

Stop by, pop on a VR headset, and discover what it’s like to sit right in the middle of a symphony orchestra!

From London to Ann Arbor, the Philharmonia Orchestra’s Virtual Reality (VR) experience, Virtual Orchestra, gives you a “musician’s eye view.” How does it feel to sit in the viola section right in front of the conductor, up at the back with the French horns, or in the middle among the woodwind? How does the sound change as you turn to face the double basses or the violins? Is it exciting or nerve-racking (or a bit of both!) to face an audience of 2,500 people? What does the music sound like from the inside out?

Stop by and experience it yourself!
