Experience the distant universe made real through art, science, and music. Created in collaboration with NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory and the Museum, composer David Ibbett’s score reveals the music of Mars in a groundbreaking Planetarium experience, with a live orchestra from Multiverse Concert Series.

Be immersed in the real sounds of Mars’ winds, dust devils and seismic rumbles, joined by orchestral melodies created from data collected from the Red Planet and stunning original visuals from the Charles Hayden Planetarium. As with every Multiverse collaboration, the show is informed by a robust science team. Mars Symphony was created in collaboration with JPL, WPI, the Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian and ETH Zurich, incorporating cutting-edge research and audio from the Perseverance Rover and Webb Space Telescope.

Through its unique blend of live music and science, Mars Symphony charts an interplanetary journey through the past, present and future of the red planet. Following the development of rocketry and robotic missions of this present moment — humanity’s dream of reaching Mars seems almost a reality. Will this generation be the first to reach the red planet, and could Mars be home to life beyond Earth?
