Luke Jerram, the artist behind the Sky Orchestra, leaves a message to Sydney:
5th and final flight of Sky Orchestra has been completed. We’ve been lucky with the weather but conditions are still 10x more reliable than when we fly in the UK. Each day we’ve been chasing the balloons to get footage from the ground. Short films can be seen on youtube.
Families have been coming out of their homes in their pyjamas to greet the balloons as they land. Apparently, a young girl was told off by her dad for playing the TV too loud in the morning. He didn’t believe her at first when she said the music was coming from out of the sky.
With great thanks to all the pilots, crew and sydney festival staff for making Sky Orchestra such a success.
Sweet Dreams Sydney X..

Seven hot air balloons slowly rising in the morning sky accompanied by mystic eastern influenced soundscapes marked the start of the 2007 Sydney Festival.
Early Saturday morning the sky of Sydney’s western suburbs was littered with colour. Residents were treated to an especially unique morning suprise yesterday with seven hot air air balloons part of Sky Orchestra.
