Stellar

A triptych of new song cycles that explore humankind’s relationship with space - how our evolving understanding of the cosmos seems to change it and us. Featuring music and texts by Madeline Barrett, and music by Giovanni Piacentini and Tomàs Peire-Serrate with texts by Doug Woolsey, the songs celebrate the achievements of scientists, engineers, and pilots; honor three famous spacecraft; and explore the wonders of light and gravity.
