The Dresden Symphony Orchestra is presenting the Slovenian town of Nova Gorica with a sound installation as the European Capital of Culture. Entitled "Orchestra Forest", it will be performed in the town's picturesque Rafut Park from May 7, as the orchestra announced. To mark the opening, four horn players from the symphony orchestra will give an open-air concert together with their colleagues from the ForCour Quartet from Slovenia.
The installation will transform the park into an interactive soundscape. Using an app, guests can discover and listen to the sounds of individual instrument groups such as oboes, trumpets, violins or the percussion on selected trees. By scanning QR codes, the orchestra gradually comes together acoustically. Once all the codes have been found, the complete work can be heard.
