Festival International de Colmar : Colmar Symphonic Mob  

The first edition of the Mob© Symphonique was a great success, with an audience of 1,500 sharing in the joy of the 500 musicians and choristers, amateurs and professionals alike, playing the greatest hits of the classical repertoire in unison under the direction of Alain Altinoglu! An unforgettable experience! The Festival is delighted to be organising the Mob© Symphonique de Colmar again, with ever-growing numbers of participants! This year, Alain Altinoglu will be accompanied by the professional musicians of his Orchestre de la Monnaie, joined by registered amateur musicians and singers. Alain Altinoglu has already selected some of the best-known and most popular arias from the repertoire, so that everyone can experience the joy of being part of the orchestra and playing under the baton of his conductor. A unique experience for musicians and spectators alike! Created in 2014 by the German Symphony Orchestra Berlin , Symphonic Mob © offers anyone who plays an instrument the chance to make music with the musicians of a professional orchestra. Anyone can take part, whatever their age or level - everyone's welcome! All you need is enthusiasm and an instrument: the rest will take care of itself. And to help you practise, in addition to the original scores, we have simplified scores for instruments of all possible pitches, as well as video tutorials.
