À propos du livre
You’ve never seen an orchestra like this before! Imagine a symphony in which more than forty orchestral instruments are represented, each contributing a unique sound to a feast for the eyes and ears. This is what you’ll find in this collection of images by Los Angeles-based artist Pollux!
The conductor appears before you. He signals to his orchestra.
And then the concert begins. You spot a euphonium. Is that a vibraslap? You can hear the kettledrums and the violas. Each musician is utterly devoted to his or her instrument. The Orchestellans love to play music, the rhythms and beats of which is yours to imagine.
