Rooftop alphorns power virus-safe concert in Germany
Musicians with alphorns have taken to the roofs in the German city of Dresden to perform a concert featuring distant harmonies at a time when cultural events have been disrupted by the coronavirus pandemic.
The Dresdner Sinfoniker orchestra’s performance on Saturday, titled The Sky above Prohlis, saw 16 alphorns, nine trumpets and four tubas set up nearly 50 metres above the ground on the roofs of tower blocks in the city’s Prohlis district.
