Title: Astrosymphony by the Orchestre des Chaussures Blanches
What if we used music to make people feel the reality of the physical processes that take place at the heart of the most mysterious objects in our Universe? A composer, astrophysicists and an orchestra have joined forces to meet this challenge and create this symphony at the crossroads of science and art. Three movements will be played and explained in the form of a conference-concert (galaxies, origins of elements, gravitational waves).
