“Sometimes an idea is so inspired, so perfect, you have to wonder: How did this not exist before?…. Now there’s a new work of genius to elevate into this class:
THE MOONS SYMPHONY, composed by Amanda Lee Falkenberg”
Web Behrens - Ravinia Music Magazine 2024
Marin Alsop leads the Chicago Symphony Orchestra
Ravinia Music Festival - July 2024
THE MOONS SYMPHONY presents an unparalleled fusion of visuals and music, celebrating the convergence of music and science to vividly portray past, present, and future lunar explorations.
It offers a fresh perspective on our very own planet Earth.
Incorporating the enriched perspectives of astronauts into a musical voyage through our galaxy, our aspiration is to globally acknowledge and celebrate the iconic phenomenon of EARTHRISE.
This journey commences with the worldwide premiere of THE MOONS SYMPHONY, coupled with its planetary message, destined to grace concert halls, open-air arenas, and planetariums across the globe.

★★★★★
This is a real one-off. A fully choral symphony depicting seven moons of our solar system... It succeeds because of (Falkenberg's) skills as a very experienced composer of film music and the extraordinary quality of the performance...
Choir and Organ
The thematic elements have a very important part in the structure of the work, and they materialize with timbral beauty and a powerful and coherent expressiveness...
This is a captivating work, an exciting and emotional journey in tonal language, in which the author aspires to make her music serves as a reflection on who we are and where we are..

This ambitious project is brought to life by a sizzling LSO and a gutsy London Voices…This is musical painting on an infectiously grand scale
BBC Music Magazine
★★★★½
This is music designed to grab the listener’s attention. It also happens to be right up the alley of conductor Marin Alsop, leading the London Symphony Orchestra and the London Voices; she builds a solid structure and keeps it moving along effectively
All Music
★★★★
Falkenberg’s passionate and creative adaptation of the film music genre is firmly embraced by the committed artistry of the London Symphony under Marin Alsop and the warm cohesion and crystalline diction of the London Voices…The Moons Symphony offers a precious and timely perspective on our own fragile planet that we would do well to heed

“Your text must be coherent and have a clear message. That’s what struck me first about Amanda’s writing – she is a very experienced composer and knows how to set words and construct the vocal lines.”
Ben Parry
- Director London Voices
Once in a while, a new composition comes along and knock you right off your feet - the emotion, the breadth, the message gets its hooks in you and holds on.”

The Moons Symphony immediately invites comparison with Holst's Planets, but it is a different beast: a choral work depicting seven moons with a wide range of behaviours right here in our solar system…“The MOONS SYMPHONY is a wonderfully evocative work that could equally grace concert halls or film scores
