Angel Strings / K Mak at the Planetarium

LIVE STRINGS USHER YOU THROUGH THE COSMOS.

Having sold out their previous seasons in Brisbane, Melbourne, Adelaide and Bendigo, Angel Strings and K Mak bring their arresting shows back to the Brisbane Planetarium. 

Angel Strings merge the divine majesty of the outer universe with sublime string quartet repertoire, featuring works by Philip Glass, Ravel, Max Richter, Karl Jenkins and Elgar. 

K Mak then weaves strings, synths, beats and vocals into lush, cinematic soundscapes – a distillation of classical, alternative and electropop music. 

The planetarium’s unique setting features 12.5m domed ceilings, reclining seats and surround sound. Coupling with live music in a central “campfire” setting with stirring, tailored visuals, the immersion is nothing short of transcendent.

“We want to move people in a way they’ve never been moved before” says Kathryn McKee, cellist and director of Angel Strings and K Mak. “We want to take them somewhere else.”

“Both events offered a transportative, contemplative, nerve-tingling experience… a sensuous pleasure” – ArtsHub
