AMANDA

In 2026, THE MOONS Choral Suite will receive its first performance in Pennsylvania with the NEPA Philharmonic under the baton of Mélisse Brunet.

In a remarkable gesture of symbolism, the orchestral score for THE MOONS SYMPHONY now resides on the Moon’s South Pole, carried aboard NASA’s Odysseus lander — a tribute to the final movement’s celebration of Earthrise and our shared planetary home.

 

Amanda is also the creator of LUNAR, an interdisciplinary education platform that merges music, planetary science, and art — inspiring students and lifelong learners to explore the cosmos through curiosity, creativity, and wonder.

As Ravinia Music Magazine wrote:


“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”

 

Placing her alongside the revolutionary artistry of Mozart’s Don Giovanni and the cinematic impact of The Wizard of Oz.

“This is a real one-off… it succeeds because [Falkenberg’s] a very experienced composer of film music, and the extraordinary quality of the performance”
