Video. Monte-Carlo Philharmonic Turns Charter Flight Into Impromptu Concert for Kazuki Yamada
Returning from tour, musicians from the Monte-Carlo Philharmonic Orchestra (Orchestre Philharmonique de Monte-Carlo, OPMC) staged an impromptu concert aboard the charter flight taking them back to Nice.
A video of the unusual performance, with violins, horn, clarinet and makeshift percussion filling the central aisle, was shared on the orchestra’s social media channels.
"We’d been toying with the idea of holding a small concert on a plane for a long time, but on a regular flight, it’s not feasible because of the passengers and security requirements," explains Liza Kerob, one of the orchestra’s two super-soloists.
"This time, everything was different because the plane had been chartered exclusively for us. Only the orchestra was on board, so we decided it was now or never."
