Ether has a history of bringing together seemingly the most unlikely of collaborators. This year is no different with Stravinsky’s seminal The Rite of Spring played live by the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra plus Klaus Obermaier’s stunning 3D visuals on a screen behind the orchestra. Julia Mach dances live to the music – a nod to Stravinsky’s original vision of his work as a ballet – and her movements are interpreted in real-time into the visuals.
Have a look at this video to see what we mean. If you haven’t seen or heard The Rite of Spring live before, this is one not to miss.
