Using the latest technology Manchester Camerata - playing at Manchester University - linked up with the Ex Novo ensemble in the Concert Hall of the Venice Conservatoir to perform Green Piece, a world première by Michele Dall’Ongaro, specially commissioned for the occasion.
The resulting performance was broadcast live via a high-speed internet connection to the delegates at the Venice World Forum on Climate Change, based in the Doge’s Palace in St Mark’s Square.
The combined performance was made possible thanks to the technological expertise from Manchester Digital Development Agency (MDDA) working with Manchester University and Feedback Italia.
