Lorelei at MIT
8:30pmSongs from Extrasolar Spaces: An Evening of Music Inspired by TESS performed at MIT
Space has long fascinated poets, physicists, astronomers, and sci-fi writers. Musicians too have often found beauty and meaning in the skies above. On July 30, at MIT’s Kresge Auditorium, a group of composers and musicians will render visions from space in a concert titled Songs from Extrasolar Spaces. Featuring Boston’s Lorelei Ensemble—a Boston-based women’s choir—the concert will include premieres by MIT composers John Harbison and Elena Ruehr, along with compositions by Meredith Monk and Molly Herron. All the music is inspired by discoveries in astronomy.
