About
City of Floating Sounds turns Brussels into an open-air musical landscape. You walk with an app and end at Bozar, where the music is played live on 9 May 2027.
What to expect
Instead of going straight to Bozar, you start at one of several collection points spread across the city.
Via a specially developed app you walk through the streets while listening to fragments of a composition by Huang Ruo.
Along the way the music shifts and grows, and new musical layers appear when you come near other participants.
The routes slowly come together at Bozar, where 80 musicians of the Belgian National Orchestra play the full work live under the direction of Jessica Cottis.
