Composer Cosmology

As astrophysicists like Neil deGrasse Tyson learn more about the
  cosmos and present their often strange and wondrous
findings to the   public, the creative mind can’t help
but be captivated and inspired, and  composers are certainly
no exception.


From super strings to quarks,  multiple dimensions to M
theory, we’ll  play several imaginative works by
 composers captivated by our  universe.
