Orchestra of Giants

The interactive musical playground with enormous instruments

The Orchestra of Giants consists of humongous musical instruments that offer a basic introduction to the physics of sound and the way musical instruments are constructed. They allow participants to explore how factors such as length, tension and the resonant materials used to make an instrument affect its pitch and sound quality. These huge sound sculptures encourage collaborative music making, with many of the instruments only able to produce sound when several participants work together at once - just as most music is often a “collective societal sculpture” produced through teamwork.

Please consult with us so we can provide you with a selection of instruments for this exhibition that is tailored to the type of event, its level of complexity and any budgetary requirements. This open-air exhibition can also be loaned out for daylong events.
