Experience the unfolding story of black holes as engines of gravity, light, and creation through a groundbreaking fusion of art, science, and music!

This immersive new production from the Museum of Science, Boston and Multiverse Concert Series, in collaboration with the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics and Black Hole Initiative, takes you on a symphonic journey through spacetime, performed by a chamber orchestra accompanied by stunning, immersive visuals by the Museum of Science, Boston’s Charles Hayden Planetarium animators. Composer David Ibbett has sonified the light of black hole galaxies as musical notes and chords, woven into a dramatic electro-symphonic score that reveals a hidden universe beyond the scope of our eyes.

Over the course of an afternoon, audiences are plunged into deep space riding relativistic jets of plasma, guided through the dense dust torus, broad-line clouds, and ultimately reach the blazing accretion disk on the event horizon of a supermassive black hole.

The concert is presented in memory of NAS member Eugene Roberts (1920-2016) Ph.D., F.A.I.C.
