　　A French Canadian design group has greatly improved the classic swing set.Created by Montreal-based group Daily Tous Les Jours,The Swings is a large set of multicolored seats that emulate(仿真) a range of musical instruments as people swing.However,there is one rule required to reach the activation of The Swings—people must cooperate.When users work together to swing in unison(一致地),they are rewarded with a perfectly pleasant tune.

　　“The Swings is a game where,from the start,you need to adjust to the actions of others,”Mouna Andraos,Daily Tous Les Jours founder,said.

　　The Swings made its first American appearance at the Green Box Arts Festival,in Green Mountain,Colorado,last summer.After being awarded a grant(經費) from the Knight Foundation,The Swings will have month-long stays in Charlotte,North Carolina;Macon,Georgia;Philadelphia;and San Jose,California,over the course of the next year.Currently,The Swings is in storage until the first city of the tour has been designated(指定).

　　The project began in 2011,when the Montreal entertainment district was looking for a way to attract visitors.Daily Tous Les Jours worked alongside a musical composer and a biology professor to create “the magic of collective music making”,and the end result was swinging musical chairs.The Swings generated attention from other cities,which led Daily Tous Les Jours to apply for a grant to take the swing set on the road.

　　Daily Tous Les Jours hopes that,in addition to bringing joy to these four cities,The Swings will promote community interaction and cooperation.This could also eventually lead to positive socio-economic changes within each city.

　　“We want to observe how the positive interactions made by The Swings can help communities,neighborhoods and local businesses,”Andraos said.“Cooperation is at the heart of this operation.”

　　Throughout the whole year,the 60 museums and theatres in Hannover,Germany,will feature one top event after another.

　　It bears the title of UNESCO(United Nations Educational,Scientific and Cultural Organization)City of Music and takes its place in the international UNESCO network of Creative Cities.The range of musical education facilities(設施),the city’s impressive achievements in the music and creative business,the wide range of performances—from pop,rock and jazz right through to ancient,classical and new music—and its many top-class choirs(合唱團) were all factors that convinced the UNESCO Committee in Paris.

　　There is music in the air in Hannover all year round:the A cappella week(25 April-3 May) and the Masala World Beat Festival(17 June-28 June),for example,take their audiences on a pleasant trip.Every year on Ascension Day,Hannover is transformed into the capital of jazz when it attracts tens of thousands to listen to excellent jazz music from all over the globe.

　　“Simply making music”is the motto of the global music festival“Fête de la Musique”.Like hundreds of other cities throughout the world,Hannover celebrates this major festival for tolerance(包容) and international understanding on 21 June every year.Terrific bands will take the stage at the NDR Plaza Festival and the N-Joy Starshow(29 & 30 May).Music lovers can also look forward to the F?hrmannsfest(31 July-2 August).

　　Every year,visitors can find out for themselves just how good Hannover Region sounds during the “Kultursommer”,when classical music events are on the bill in the HCC Kuppelsaal,the largest concert hall anywhere in Germany.In 2024,the International Joseph Joachim Violin Competition will be held between 27 September and 10 October.Every three years,Stiftung Niedersachsen invites outstanding young violinists from all over the world to compete here in Hannover.?
