The Rome Symphony Orchestra invites audiences to embark on an extraordinary voyage into the very heart of the universe with the world premiere of Black Hole Symphony. This one-of-a-kind concert fuses the timeless power of a live orchestra with the cutting-edge discoveries of astrophysics, offering a dazzling experience where science and art converge.In a first-of-its-kind collaboration, the Rome Symphony joins forces with astrophysicists from the Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian and the Black Hole Initiative, alongside the visionary animators of the Museum of Science, Boston. At the center of this project is composer David Ibbett, Composer-in-Residence for Harvard and the Smithsonian, who has transformed light itself into music — translating the data of black hole galaxies into soaring melodies, shimmering chords, and an electro-symphonic score of cosmic proportions.
The evening will feature a wide array of special guests, including Rome's own Indra Thomas. A pre-show panel will include a special conversation between the composer, physicists, Georgia-based scientists, and the conductor of the RSO.
Doors to the 7 p.m. performance open at 6 p.m. Guests are encouraged to purchase tickets in advance by visiting www.RomeSymphony.org or calling 706-291-7967.
