# Fluorescent Classical Performances Rome Arca's Neon Music Video Opts for a Bold Wardrobe and Set By Jordy E | Published 2012-03-14 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neon-music-video References: [nylonmag](http://www.nylonmag.com/?section=article&parid=7728) & [romearca](http://www.romearca.com/) The quartet Rome Arca has added some spunk to the classical music genre with its latest bold and bright neon music video. Just under 10 minutes, the musical display is almost akin to a short film, and has been appropriately named *Ghosts and Flowers.* The Rome Arca neon music video exhibits outrageous talent with the group's choice of song. Handel's Halvorsen Passacaglia is considered to be an incredibly challenging tune among concerto buffs. What makes *Ghosts and Flowers* even more unique though is the set design and costume pieces. Ginormous wooden instruments are offset by wild pink and yellow neon dresses and enchanted fluorescent fields, a style that must have required a lot of dedication to produce. On top of the evident talent displayed, the *Ghost and Flowers* neon music video also displays a fresh approach to classical performances. The industry can be perceived as exclusive to the musically apt who possess a knack for instrumentals. However, Rome Arca's production has displayed classical music's affinity for fashion, design and presentation. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.3/10 - Popularity: 35% | Activity: 26% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Viral](https://www.trendhunter.com/viral) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Neon Classical Music:** The use of neon colors in classical music performances can create a visually captivating experience for audiences looking to experience something new and unexpected. - **Classical Music and Fashion:** The incorporation of avant-garde fashion into classical music performances has the potential to draw in a younger audience and push the boundaries of the traditional classical music industry. - **Short Film Classical Music:** The creation of musical short films, like Rome Arca's Ghosts and Flowers, has the potential to redefine the way we experience classical music and create new opportunities for collaboration between musicians and filmmakers. ### Who This Affects Most - **Classical Music:** The classical music industry can embrace avant-garde fashion, set design and presentation to attract a younger audience and motivate musical innovation. - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can collaborate with classical music producers to create avant-garde costumes that generate interest in both industries and encourage the creation of new collaborations. - **Film:** The film industry could collaborate with classical musicians to create visually stunning and innovative music videos that combine music and storytelling. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Unique Illuminated Performances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/candlelight.md) - [Ancient Rome-Inspired Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/romana.md) - [Ambiance-Forward Exhibitions Settings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brian-eno-and-dan-flavin.md) - [Airborne Concert Halls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arka-nova.md) - [Neon Illustation-Donned Buildings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crafted-world-exhibition-1.md) - [LED-Infused Festival Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tinsel-arcade.md) - [Contrasting Artful Furniture Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fluro-furniture.md) - [Y2K-Inspired Neon Light Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neon-light-art.md) - [Neon Illuminated Christmas Trees](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fluorescence.md)
