We tell stories with
instead of to audiences.
Ever feel like your phone is pulling you away from the people around you? Well, we do the opposite. At The Smartphone Orchestra, we turn your phone into a tool for connection, laughter, and profound collective experiences.
We create live, interactive group experiences where your own smartphone acts as your guide. On your phone you receive instructions, prompts, questions, and games that help you connect with the other people in the room and explore important topics together.
We use technology to create real-life, face-to-face moments: sometimes hilarious, sometimes moving, always unforgettable.

The Smartphone Orchestra and composer Dirk Brossé were commissioned by the Antwerp Symphony Orchestra to compose three new works each inspired by a Spanish painting.
Each year in The Netherlands on 4th May, we remember and honor the deceased of World War II. The Smartphone Orchestra created a piece to give a voice to the Jewish children who lost their lives during the war. This haunting but beautiful composition acts as a prelude to the two-minute silence at 20:00.
The Smartphone Orchestra developed the app, Tinmendo, for Tin Men and the Telephone allowing the audience to actively participate in their shows.
