Science of the Arts: A Pale Blue Dot: A Voyage of Music and Space
Join the Strong Harbour Strings Collective as we journey through space! The
linking theme in this concert is the Voyager spacecraft program, launched
by NASA in 1977. These interplanetary space probes, Voyager 1 and Voyager
2 were launched to gather information about the solar system and, on
completion of that mission, to gradually travel outside of the solar
system into interstellar space. Each craft carried a golden phonograph
record which acts as a time capsule for humanity as a whole; this record
contains visual imagery, scientific data, sounds, and music. The SHSC will
perform music from these golden records and inspired by the solar eclipse
that happened this past April, including works by Bach, Holst, Golijov,
Beethoven, and many more.
Strong Harbour Strings Collective is an
independent non-profit offering equal access to music education and
performance to the children of Buckmaster's Circle and surrounding
neighbourhoods.
This performance will have two 45-minute halves
with a short intermission. Tickets $30. There will be a cash bar and
popcorn available.
This performance is one of the events in our
The Science of the Arts Series. 2024 was named the year of the Arts in NL
and to celebrate we've put together an exciting event series, The Science
of the Arts, that will explore the relationship between Arts and Sciences.
Are these two worlds as different as they sometimes appear? Join us as we
hear from guests of all backgrounds give their take on this interesting
intersection.
