Tickets & Information

Experience the cosmos as we weave the iconic Fifth Symphony by Beethoven, launched into space by NASA, with the celestial inspiration of Williams’ Serenade to Music. These two timeless works harmonize with a world premiere performance of A Dream for Artemis, composed by Fabien Waksman, featuring a narration written by Jean-Philippe Uzan. Inspired by the NASA’s Artemis initiative, the next frontier in space exploration, the piece was specially written for our guest artists, the French saxophone quartet Quatuor Ellipsos. Let these extraordinary compositions elevate your senses in a performance that bridges the wonders of the universe with the innovative artistry of today!
