Factory International: City of Floating Sounds

Presented in Partnership with Yale Schwarzman Center & New Haven Symphony Orchestra

City of Floating Sounds is an invitation to connect with our surroundings and each other. Experience a shifting soundscape as you journey through the city. Can you find other audience members to create a richer sound?

Pushing the boundaries of classical music performance, City of Floating Sounds uses cutting-edge creative technology to take music out into the city. Guided by a bespoke mobile app, make your way through the streets of New Haven listening to fragments of Huang Ruo’s meditative new work.

As you get closer to the Green – and other audience members – the sound will expand, revealing more parts of the work. An opportunity to explore New Haven in a new light – the path you take and who you meet on your journey can all change what you hear.

City of Floating Sounds asks you to open your senses to the city. What will you hear and who might you meet?
