Musicians from the Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra, who are self-isolating due to the coronavirus pandemic, came together to record a virtual, collaborative performance of Ludwig van Beethoven's 9th symphony from their homes.
The Dutch orchestra filmed the finale of Beethoven’s symphony 'Ode to Joy’ with 19 musicians recording their individual parts on their respective instruments to a click track.
Each part was then added to an audio mix along with an archival recording of the final choir segment. "We’re adjusting to a new reality and we’ll have to find solutions in order to support each other," the musicians said in the video.
