Walking around the Volksgarten in Vienna on a hot morning we were drawn to the sound of music coming from the neo-classical Theseus Temple in the centre of the park.
Here we found a harpist who with the help of a young assistant was making a video of her playing some really beautiful music. Seated between the columns the music was amplified so that it gave off a rich and vibrant sound. It was quite magical and was a perfect accompaniment to our walk in the park.
Volksgarten means People's Garden and it was designed as a place in Vienna's first district, close to the Hofburg palace and parliament buildings for the public to relax. There are some beautiful formal and informal flower beds and it really is a wonderful spot within the city and I thought that this impromptu performance really fit with the ethos of a truly public space.
