Tafelmusik - The Galileo Project - The Music of the Spheres
Canadian ensemble Tafelmusik will take you on an epic space odyssey, performing period music before stunning images from the Hubble deep space telescope. Combining music, photography and story-telling, The Galileo Project brings to life the brilliant minds of the early astronomers and the music that inspired them, as a large-scale, ever-changing backdrop of stars and planets unfolds. The publicity states "Using the best of Bach, Handel, Monteverdi and Vivaldi, come and hear the tunes that were probably stuck in Galileo’s head when he discovered the moons of Jupiter." Now you are probably thinking, like White Hat how could tunes of composers who hadn't been born yet be stuck in his head. However we are sure that this program has been meticulously researched so all will be revealed. The program will also feature works by Lully, Purcell, Rameau, Telemann & Michelangelo Galilei brother of the astronomer). From the reputation of the group and the reviews of this concert, White Hat suggests you go out of your way to attend. 7.30pm, Thursday 1st March 2012, Perth Concert Hall, Perth
