StellarScape
September 9 & 10, Friday & Saturday, 7:30 p.m.

Crowder Hall, $18, 10

Music.arizona.edu/tickets



StellarScape is an immersive multimedia performance synthesizing music, science, visual art, and technology. The performance includes live musicians, electronic music, and dance, collaborating with interactive cinematography – fusing kinesthetic and acoustic sensing with cosmic simulation, in real time. This convergence research collaboration is catalyzed by the union of concepts at the confluence of astronomy, humanity, artistic expression through music and dance, and socio-technical experience. ​

It’s a story of a massive star, from its birth to its death, echoing the theme of darkness and light.

It’s a story about us. We are stardust brought to life.

Congratulations to faculty member Dr. José Luis Puerta and alumnus Alfredo Vázquez on the release of their new album "Appunti" under the Seville-based Contrastes Records. The album was recorded at the Haskell Recording Studio at the University of Arizona School of Music by Wiley Ross. The debut CD Of the Puerta-Vázquez Duo is a monographic work of Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco. The album includes pieces that were dedicated or made famous by Duo Presti Lagoya, Sonatina Canonica, and Fuga Elegiaca. The latter one was dedicated to them posthumously. The album also presents a unique interpretation of Appunti Op. 210. A setting for two guitars by the late David Grimes, who made this with Tedesco’s approval. The CD release concert will take place as part of the Faculty Artist Series on October 22, 7:00 PM, Holsclaw Hall.

The album is available for purchase as well as streaming on all platforms.
