ANGEL STRINGS x PLANETARIUM
Live string quartet ushers you through the cosmos.
Angel Strings merge the divine majesty of the outer universe with sublime string quartet repertoire.
Following repeat sell-outs in Brisbane, Melbourne and Bendigo, Angel Strings return their stirring show to the Brisbane Planetarium, featuring works by Philip Glass, Ravel, Max Richter, Karl Jenkins and Elgar with resplendent tailored visuals.
The Planetarium’s unique setting features 12.5m domed ceilings, reclining seats, and surround sound, with a live string quartet in a central “campfire” setting. The experience is unique and otherwordly.
“We want to take people somewhere they haven’t been before” says Kathryn McKee, cellist and director of Angel Strings.
For lovers of classical and non-classical music.
