The First LUNAR Trekker
Discover New Worlds to Explore
As a total lunar eclipse rises over Australia on March 3rd, 2026, audiences will embark on a cinematic concert journey — Sea to Space — a multi-sensory experience that begins in Earth’s oceans and ascends to the outer reaches of our solar system.
This immersive evening bridges the known and the unknown, offering a gateway from our blue planet to the ocean worlds of distant moons. Through evocative orchestral storytelling and stunning sea-to-space visuals, the performance unfolds as a voyage through sound and science, culminating in the world premiere of THE MOONS SYMPHONY.
