It's almost time for Your Symphony's final concert of the season, and it's going to be an incredible experience! On June 18 the concepts and imagery of world-renowned local photographer Frans Lanting and the captivating music of Philip Glass will be showcased in LIFE: A Journey Through Time. This multimedia orchestral production celebrates the splendor of life on Earth. LIFE interprets the history of nature’s existence on our planet in seven glorious movements, from its earliest beginnings to its present diversity, in a work that merges the visual and performing arts with life and earth sciences.
Join us before the concert for a street party at 5 pm featuring live music and delicious food and drink right in front of the Civic Auditorium. Then at 6:30 PM, a science panel with leading researchers from UC Santa Cruz — astrophysicist Natalie Batalha, geologist Gary Griggs, geneticist David Haussler, and paleoecologist Paul Koch — will add insights about the evolution of life on Earth. They will be joined onstage by Frans Lanting, who will explain the ideas behind LIFE: A Journey Through Time. This will be the perfect prelude to immersing yourself in the marvelous photos of Frans Lanting and the magical music of Philip Glass by Your Symphony under the direction of Maestro Daniel Stewart, starting at 7:30pm.
We can't wait to see you there!
