Four Strings Around the Virtual World

What if a piece of music could transport you to the place it was written, inspired by, or first performed? Through virtual reality, this collaboration between University of Maryland's College of Arts and Humanities (ARHU) and College of Computer, Mathematical, and Natural Sciences (CMNS) offers an immersive experience that takes audiences beyond the auditory. By virtually placing the performer within environments significant to the music, this UMD project provides a rich experience with possibilities in both musical education and performance. #UMDdiscovers
