Experience the distant universe made real through art, science, and music, at the EcoTarium! Mars Symphony is a symphony of science celebrating the past, present and future of the red planet, unfolding through the universal language of music. Join us for an interplanetary symphony of science performed live by a chamber orchestra of Multiverse players, led by conductor and composer Dr. David Ibbett, under the immersive fulldome of the Alden Planetarium.
The sequel to Black Hole Symphony, and created in collaboration with NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) and the Museum of Science: Mars Symphony reveals the music of Mars in a groundbreaking Planetarium experience, with live orchestra from Multiverse Concert Series.
Experience real sounds from the Red Planet, recorded by the Perseverance Rover and transformed into “Martian synths” by the composer David Ibbett. Immerse yourself in the rush of Mars’ winds, dust devils, and seismic rumbles, complemented by orchestral melodies driven by the geography (areography) and light spectra from the Red Planet. It’s all informed by a science team from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Lab (JPL), the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, and ETH Zurich, incorporating cutting-edge audio and data from the Perseverance Rover and Webb Space Telescope. It’s topped off and visualized by fulldome projections from the Planetarium’s award-winning team.
Through its unique blend of live music, science research, and immersive visuals, Mars Symphony charts an interplanetary journey through the past, present, and future of the Red Planet. As we follow the development of modern rocketry and robotic missions of this present moment, humanity’s dream of reaching Mars seems almost a reality. Will our generation be the first to reach the Red Planet, and could Mars be home to life beyond Earth?
