ABOUT OCTAVE OF LIGHT
Experience Octave of Light, a planetarium concert of exoplanet music. This groundbreaking show takes audiences on an immersive journey across the stars, exploring distant worlds through sight, sound and live electrosymphonic music.
Live music by composer David Ibbett draws on research from the Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian to translate distant planets and their chemistries into musical chords and melodies.
Immersive planetarium visuals, created by Ross Barros-Smith, Media Technology Artist at the Christa McAuliffe Center, powerfully connect us with the musical score.
Over the course of the show, audiences will learn a musical language of exoplanets as they explore gaseous, crystalline, and potentially life-bearing worlds throughout the cosmos.
Recommended for families and all ages
