Real NASA imagery. Live Bach. Your journey through the stars.
Galaxies, nebulae and distant planets from the NASA and ESA archives unfold in vivid colour while a pianist performs Bach live, from the Goldberg Variations to the Well-Tempered Clavier and the Italian Concerto.
The voyage
Five reasons to look up.
A vast screen opens onto the cosmos. Real imagery of galaxies, nebulae and planets fills the hall.
Bach, performed live. Seventy-five minutes of masterpieces on a concert grand piano.
Music and image in dialogue. Each work is paired with its own celestial imagery.
An evening of light and shade. Moments of intensity and repose unfold as the images travel deeper into space.
For every listener, whether you are a devoted music lover or drawn to the stars.
