Individual project
Duration
2 weeks
The database of New York Philharmonic's performance history documents all known concerts of New York Philharmonic and contains more than 20,000 performances, dating back to the first concert in 1842. As a classic music lover, I created a series of data visualization that unveils the historical stories behind the dataset and allows digital interaction with the music through touching the corresponding graphics on the book.

The metadata is available in JSON format. I used Python for data processing and started playing with the dataset in pandas. I further used Matplotlib (in Python), R and Illustrator for data visualization. Here are two examples of the data visualization process in Python and R.
