Hamburg, 29 April, 2022 (APA/OTS) -
Thousands of people gathered on Thursday night to experience
the "Breaking Waves" light installation in Hamburg's port. Created
by Dutch artist-duo DRIFT, the artwork comprises hundreds of
illuminated drones that dance around the night sky of the iconic
concert-hall. The event took place just after the opening-concert
of the Hamburg International-Music-Festival. The spectacular
light-installation was presented on the occasion of the 5-year
anniversary of the Elbphilharmonie, Hamburg's new landmark, and
will be on show three more times until 1 May
(www.elbphilharmonie.de).

Especially for the Elbphilharmonie, Lonneke Gordijn and Ralph
Nauta of DRIFT have created a work of art that enhances the
building's unique architecture in fascinating ways. With their
choreographed swarm of drones outside the building, DRIFT explores
the movement of the water that surrounds the concert-hall, and
connects that to the sound waves inside the venue. Originally
planned to take place in January to mark the Elbphilharmonie's 5th
anniversary, the artwork draws inspiration from the second movement
of the Piano Concerto by Thomas Ad?s, the centrepiece of the
anniversary-concert on 11 January.
In the short time of its existence, the Elbphilharmonie has
completely exceeded all expectations, with a programme of events
that stands out internationally for both its quality and diversity.
What is more, the Elbphilharmonie has received more public
attention worldwide than any other modern cultural building in
recent years, with an amazing 3.5 million concert guests enjoying
some 3,000 inspiring concerts at the concert-hall since its
opening. Over the past years, more than 15 million people have
enjoyed the 360-degree panoramic view from the Plaza, the public
viewing platform. With these extraordinary figures, Hamburg`s new
landmark even outperforms German top tourist destinations such as
Neuschwanstein Castle (www.hamburg-travel.com).
