Holiday Show:
Octave of Light
by Multiverse Concert Series
SATURDAy, December 20
Performances at 3:00PM and 7:30PM
Christa McAuliffe Center at Framingham State University
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. Equal parts science and imagination, this performance offers an awe-inspiring blend of music, data, and discovery, presented by Multiverse Concert Series in collaboration with the Christa McAuliffe Center.
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. 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.
Join us for this all-new version of the show with immersive visuals - only at the Christa McAuliffe Center this December!
