Space Mission

For as long as there have been people, few topics have fascinated them as much as outer space. Planets, stars, black holes and, of course, the earth – how all this is connected is a subject that preoccupies science, technology, art and culture in the past, present and future. «And yet it moves!», Galileo Galilei is said to have exclaimed after he was forced to renounce his theory of the Earth’s motion... In this thrilling journey through space, science and music merge in the imaginary space shuttle. Cosmic phenomena and exciting stories are vividly conveyed by astronomer Ruth Grützbauch as co-presenter. The Tonkunstler Orchestra invites you on a sonic adventure through the universe with galactic music from Gustav Holst’s «The Planets» Suite, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s «Jupiter» Symphony and the soundtrack to «Star Wars» by John Williams!
