Enjoy Music Under the Stars, with a special live concert by Saginaw Bay Symphony Orchestra musicians set to unique immersive animation in the Delta College Planetarium.
This one-of-a-kind experience will hold two performances on Saturday, January 31 at 4:30 and 6:30pm and features a live string quintet led by Gregg Powell, principal bassist and personnel manager for the Symphony.
Music selections include, “Mars, the Bringer of War” by Gustav Holst, “Symphony #41: Jupiter” by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, “Twilight: New Moon” by Alexandre Desplat and “Song Under the Stars” by Elena Roussanova Lucas. All musical numbers are choreographed to vibrant visual effects, from spacescapes to surrealistic environments.
“Combining a live concert performance with the immersive setting of the dome theater has turned this into one of our most popular programs,” says Mike Murray, astronomer and manager of the planetarium. “Putting music, art and celestial visions together in this wrap-around environment creates something magical, a multi-dimensional way to capture awe and wonder. Put that into a collective audience experience, and it multiplies the sense of connection even further.”
This exclusive event plays one day only on Saturday, January 31 with performances at 4:30 and 6:30pm. Admission is $25 and tickets may be purchased online or at the Delta College Planetarium at 100 Center Avenue in downtown Bay City.
