Once again 59 Productions allowed us to film them at work. This time we were given the opportunity to find out exactly what effort goes into creating a spectacular production for the Edinburgh International Festival.
59 Productions were commissioned by the Edinburgh International Festival to create a brand new artwork to mark the opening of the 2015 festival and the 50th anniversary of the Edinburgh Festival Chorus. This was not a fairly simple case of filming the Edinburgh Festival Chorus performing John Adams’s choral work Harmonium, but it was to become an amazing piece of outdoor art.
They worked in conjunction with the University of Edinburgh’s Centre for Design Informatics to create a piece of art that examines the effects singing has on both the performer and the listener.
A recording was made of Harmonium by the Royal Scottish National Orchestra and the Edinburgh Festival Chorus conducted by Peter Oundjian and while it was being played projections were made on the Usher Hall to a very large audience.
To find out more about this remarkable event and the effort required to make it such a success please spend a few minutes watching our film.
Please contact me for further information about this video, our work, or what we can do for your organisation or company.
