The Interact Laptop Orchestra: Mozart Symphony No. 40 & Tchaikovsky's Romeo and Juliet

​Please come to the Interact Studio on the night of August 20, 2026, for a special rendition of Symphony No. 40 in G minor by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Romeo and Juliet by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, performed entirely by synchronized personal laptops.

​Formal evening wear is required for this event. Please come dressed as you would for a concert.

​The two pieces will be separated by an intermission. Drinks and light refreshments will be served (cheeses and wine).

​About the Orchestra

​The Interact Laptop Orchestra is an experiment in distributed sound: each laptop performs a different orchestral part, while all devices share the same musical timeline. Individual devices are placed deliberately around the room in orchestral placement to simulate the spatial sound profile of a real orchestra.

​The orchestra is powered by beatsync.gg, open-source software I made for millisecond-accurate, synchronized audio playback across devices. The performance uses multitrack orchestral recordings from The Spheres Dataset (Garcia-Martinez et al., 2025), which provides separately recorded instrumental parts from Mozart’s Symphony No. 40 and Tchaikovsky’s Romeo and Juliet.

​For this event, I will need to borrow ~20-40 MacBooks from the community for the night :)
