Symphony for the History of Time
Details
Part of the UQ School of Music Festival. Tickets are free but you have to register (see the link below).
A new Australian symphony composed by Eve Klein, presented by the School of Music, The University of Queensland, conducted by Paul Dean and featuring the UQ Symphony Orchestra, UQ Chorale and UQ Singers.
Symphony for the History of Time is a programmatic symphony telling the story of our universe as we currently understand it based upon the cosmology research of Professor Tamara Davis and her research collaborations with The Dark Energy Survey (DES) and The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI).
Audiences will be surrounded by 172 musicians in motion in a darkened St John's Cathedral lit by wonderous projections of the distant reaches of our universe. Starting before the Big Bang with current scientific theories of how our universe may have come into being, then progressing through the Big Bang, to the formation of galaxies and stars, Symphony for the History of Time is a musical translation of this science, using the symphony orchestra as a palette to understand the infinite complexities of the history of our universe, and our fragile human perception within it.
