Earthrise Concerto

Described as the “most influential environmental photograph ever taken", the iconic Earthrise image from Apollo 8 continues to inspire and challenge us to see our earth as one interconnected, living system. Our concert celebrates this perspective through the lens of art and science with live electrosymphonic music, science presentations and immersive planetarium visuals. Together, we will explore the earth from orbit, our developing global technology, the environment, and the plight of ecosystems under threat.

The musicians are joined by Dr. Gonzalo Abad of TEMPO Satellite, Center for Astrophysics.
