The University of Queensland School of Music: Symphony for the History of Time

7 May @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm AEST

A new Australian symphony composed by Eve Klein, presented by the School of Music, The University of Queensland, conducted by Paul Dean and featuring the UQ Symphony Orchestra, UQ Chorale and UQ Singers.

Symphony for the History of Time tells the story of our universe as we currently understand it based upon the cosmology research of Professor Tamara Davis.

Audiences are surrounded by 172 musicians in motion in a darkened St John’s Cathedral lit by projections of the distant reaches of our universe. Starting before the Big Bang with current scientific theories of how our universe may have come into being, then progressing through the Big Bang, to the formation of galaxies, Symphony for the History of Time is a musical translation of this science, using the symphony orchestra as a palette to understand the infinite complexities of our universe, and our fragile human perception within it.
