North Sydney Symphony Plays A Multimedia Australian Premiere
May 25 @ 7:00 pm
North Sydney Symphony Orchestra and BYD present Cosmic Cycles: a Space Symphony, a breathtaking multimedia work created by NASA, in conjunction with the National Philharmonic (USA) and composer Henry Dehlinger, that takes audiences on a journey across the cosmos. This concert will be the Australian premiere of the piece and the first time it will be performed following its world premiere in the United States in 2023.
This transformative project showcases the beauty and power of the deep connections between music and science. The performance combines a live performance of Henry Dehlinger’s breathtaking score with extraordinary visuals produced by NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center. The visuals consist of images processed from the Hubble and James Webb space telescopes such as the Orion Nebula, Pillars of Creation and supermassive black holes as well as hundreds of richly rendered 3D visualisation, animations and simulations. The high definition footage is projected on a cinema screen above the orchestra for the performance, with powerful visual imagery showcasing the solar system and the universe.
The work is divided into seven movements including the Sun, Earth, planets, asteroids and the Big Bang.
Founded in 1995, BYD is a global high-tech company and a global leader in New Energy vehicles with a mission of Technological innovations for a better life.
