A soundwalk inside the building of the Philharmonie

Do you remember the last time you got soaking wet on that walk in the rain? The sounds of your footsteps on the wet asphalt and the reflections of the city on the wet surfaces, the large drops falling from the leaves and the dense smells all around you. In this audio walk designed for the inside of the Philharmonie Luxembourg building, you will hear voices of people from places near and far recollecting a walk in the rain they remember. Be transported to the places and contexts as you listen and walk slowly through the building. Maybe you can even feel the rain on your skin and the wet surface under your feet? You can also pick up a postcard with a walking score that you are invited to do as you walk across the hanging bridge.
