“Today is the day a magical Sprite is born on Apple! We’re thrilled to announce today’s release of Philharmonia Fantastique: The Making of the Orchestra on Apple TV and Apple Music.This animated film began five years ago with the idea to create a new guide to the orchestra using 21st century storytelling. Born in the opening minutes of the film, our Sprite soon explores the instruments of the orchestra to see how they work. The film’s initial focus on instruments as masterpieces of interactive technology soon gives way to the broader theme of ‘unity from diversity.’ No artistic medium better demonstrates how a huge number of people can transcend their differences to work together as one. So turn the sound system up, kick back, and take a journey inside the beating heart of the orchestra. ” – Mason Bates
