Walking inside a moving symphony

As autumn casts its golden glow over Beijing, the city is poised to host a musical experience unlike any other at the National Centre for the Performing Arts.

City of Floating Sounds, an immersive new work by composer Huang Ruo, will take audiences on a journey where the boundaries between performer and listener fade away, and the city itself becomes the stage and the symphony.

This innovative performance, which is part of the ongoing 28th Beijing Music Festival, organized by the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Culture and Tourism, will be performed by the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of conductor John Storgards on Monday.
