In celebration of NEPA Philharmonic’s upcoming spring concert “Planets, Moons, & Star Wars” on Friday, May 1, the Everhart Museum is pleased to present an NEPA Philharmonic & Everhart Museum Panel Discussion, taking place at the Museum on Thursday, April 30, from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m.
The panel discussion will delve into a symphonic journey through space featuring performances of Gustav Holst’s “The Planets,” Amanda Lee Falkenberg’s “The Moons Choral Suite,” selections from John Williams ’ iconic “Star Wars” score, and how the concert ties into Everhart’s current exhibition, Hubble Space Telescope: New Views of the Universe.
Joining the discussion will be:
Nicole Stott, NASA astronaut, aquanaut, engineer, artist, and author
Amanda Lee Falkenberg, composer of the Moons Choral Suite, one of the pieces on the program highlighting moons from across the solar system
Camilla Tassi, projection designer, whose artistic projections will be on screen during the performance of Holst’s The Planets
James Lansing, Everhart Museum Curator
The Museum, 1901 Mulberry St., Scranton, will be open for extended hours, 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., for the event. There will also be a cash bar with wine and beer from AV Restaurant & Lounge during the event.
This panel discussion is included with regular admission (Adults: $10, Senior/Students: $5, Kids 12 & Under: Free). Registration is recommended and can be completed by visiting everhart-museum.org.
