[MOC] Symphony Orchestra

[CommanderR]

Hi everyone! I have been a member on these forums for around 10 years now, but have mostly been viewing the forums, so haven't posted any creations of my own until this one. Just wanted to start off by saying hi and briefly introducing myself. My name is Daniel, I'm also known as CommanderR here on Eurobricks and PieceOnEarth over on LEGO Ideas. I am currently studying engineering at university and I'm also a musician and Lego fan. Fusing my two passions of music and Lego together, I had this idea of building a Lego orchestra!

 

A few weeks ago, I finished the model design (using LDD) and I am happy to share it here with you all!  Welcome to the Symphony Orchestra!

 

My focus was designing a model that I believe would fit will with the normal Lego set scale. With that in mind, I knew I needed to skim down a 60-instrument orchestra to around 15-20 minifigures.

 

I tried to add as many details as possible, resulting in some printing for the sheet music. Can you guess what song they are playing? 

 

One of my visions for the model was that it would have the ability to be customized easily to suit the purpose of any show.

 

The orchestra needs a place to store their instruments, warm up and relax. Welcome backstage!

 

I love classical music and wanted to decorate the lounge room with some paintings, so those of Bach, Mozart, and Beethoven seemed like a perfect fit! This lounge is where the musicians can relax and grab a refreshing drink.

 

Here are a couple more photos of the backstage, instruments, and overall model:

 

 

 

 

I also have recently added the Symphony Orchestra on Lego Ideas. So, if you like it, please head on over there (link below) and give it your support. That would be really appreciated!

hello CommaderR or PieceonEarth,
for whatever reason i can't send you a private message, so lets write it down here:
your lego ideas set Sequoia Tree Trail looks beatiful and i would love to build it in the same form as you designed it.
I would like to contact you so we can exchange some sentences and maybe an file? or instruction?
Would love to hear from you,
Harry

Lovely design. The modular approach to the performance gives this options for multiple disciplines. My mental listening to the song appreciates only having a single flutist on stage.

Wow, what a lovely masterpiece! 

Perfect modular style ...I dream of listening to the 9th symphony 4th movement!
