Information for Audience

How will this affect the concert?

The high-quality, entertaining performance given by the Stavanger Symphony Orchestra will remain unchanged. Visually, you will see some of the technology the orchestra members are wearing; for example, the eye-tracking glasses on the conductor. All of this will be small and not distract from the enjoyment of the concert. Some technology may be used to create visuals to enhance the concert experience. Additionally, there will be short announcements with instructions for those audience members who wish to participate. 

What will participation involve?

Reflective Bracelets

We are interested in your body motion during the concert. Reflective bracelets will be given out during the concert you are attending as an audience member. Any members of your group who are interested in participating will be instructed to wear the bracelets on their wrists for the duration of the concert. We will use infrared video to capture the motion of your wristbands using these reflectors.

Survey

We are interested in the musical enjoyment of audience members who attend the family concert. Attendees will be invited to complete a brief survey during the concert containing questions about their music experience. Parents can choose whether the survey is appropriate for their children to complete.
