Princeton University Concert Presents: Mahler Chamber Orchestra: in Virtual Reality and Spatial Sound!

After a sold-out United States premiere last season, the Mahler Chamber Orchestra’s groundbreaking experience in spatial sound and virtual reality returns by popular demand! With the aid of virtual reality headsets you will be transported to a fully immersive world of music in which you can move around (or through/over/under!) the musicians as a multi-dimensional recording of Mendelssohn’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream responds in real-time. You will be able to hear and feel what it is like to sit in the middle of a full orchestra and hear the sound emanating from each distinct instrument, expanding and rediscovering the process of listening and opening striking new possibilities for interaction between listener, performer, instrument and sound in a space that merges reality with fantasy – a new world awaits you!
