World premiere of ‘Pixel Symphony’, a multimedia vocal work by Amir Shpilman.

• Bring your mobile phone and be part of this world premiere!

Based on Beethoven's ‘Ode to Joy’, a walk-in installation consisting of over 300 singers and hundreds of other people will be created on 2 October at the United Nations Square in Bonn. Using your smartphone, you can become part of this unique performance in which sounds and colours will be played on hundreds of mobile phone screens. The aim of the flash mob is to create a large sea of pixels through which spectators can move freely and immerse themselves in sounds and colours.

Become part of the ‘Pixel Symphony’: We are looking for people who want to take part in this multimedia installation as a source of light and sound. If you are interested, all you need to do is attend a short dress rehearsal on 2 October at 15:30 at United Nations Square and bring your smartphone. You will be given a position in the installation and instructions on how to participate using your mobile phone as an instrument. In this way, you will take part in a special work of art and community experience at the end of the Beethoven Festival.
