Can you imagine the Buenos Aires Planetarium surrounded by hundreds of violinists playing the same song in unison? That’s exactly what’s going to happen on September 27, when hundreds of violinists will come together to play Coldplay’s “Viva La Vida” and break a record. Join in if you play the violin and head to the Planetarium this Sunday, September 27, for the 8th edition of Violin Fest at the Planetarium—an outdoor event with free admission.
Violin Fest at the Planetarium: More Than 150 Violinists Unite to Break a Record
On September 27, the Buenos Aires Planetarium will be filled with violinists bringing their instruments to play together a song that, for many, is an anthem to life. That is the goal of this new edition of Violin Fest in Buenos Aires.
Organized by the Ramos Mejía Violin School, this massive gathering of violinists aims to bring together hundreds of musicians in the heart of Palermo to break last year’s record, when 100 violinists came together.
Age and skill level don’t matter. You can participate whether you’re just taking your first steps with the violin, play purely as a hobby, or are a professional musician. Participation is 100% free for musicians.
Even if you don’t play the violin, this event is still a must-see —you can head to the Planetarium park to enjoy this massive, completely free spectacle as a spectator.
