Overview

This show is free to the public, and no tickets are required to attend. 

Concerto in Sea Major is the first concert to be performed in the water, as performed by French group Aquacoustique. The group's three musicians, Jean-Philippe Carde, Florent Lalet, and Stephane Gratteau, use found and recycled objects to create aqua-instruments for this unique performance taking place in select water fountains throughout Philadelphia. Performing belly-deep in water, Aquacoustique transforms snorkels into flutes and watering cans into saxophones, among other ingenious creations — including using water itself as a musical and rhythmic instrument — helping audiences to discover another side of the precious element. 

This will be the American Premiere of Concerto in Sea Major.
