The heavens have inspired composers throughout the ages, from Haydn’s Il Mondo della Luna to Holst’s The Planets and John Cage’s Atlas Eclipticalis. Equally, astronomers have sometimes been drawn to find parallels between the cosmos and musical structures. For Johannes Kepler, the planets formed a ‘six-part chorus’, while Einstein heard in Mozart ‘part of the inner beauty of the universe waiting to be revealed'. What is the relationship between music and astronomy? Is it purely one of imagination or can music help to unlock the mystery of space?

Please note: this course will now take place online.
