Join us for an unforgettable evening that celebrates the beauty of the cosmos through sound and imagination. The Carnival of the Planets brings together musicians, scientists, and artists to explore the harmony between music and the vastness of space.
The programme opens with Mendelssohn’s Overture to A Midsummer Night’s Dream, followed by Prokofiev’s Piano Concerto No. 3, performed by the pianist Alexander Doronin. The concert culminates in The Carnival of the Planets — a new work by Prêcheur Llarena and Eyer.
Under the direction of Alvin Arumugam and presented by The Clio Project, this performance will be a cosmic journey where music, art, and science collide.
