Beethoven Symphony No. 6 (A Science and Symphony Concert)

6 April 2025 @ 2:30 pm

We share some views of our beautiful blue planet, blending live music with Science & Symphony’s high-definition films alongside Dr. José Francisco Salgado’s explorations of oceans, tides, and water. The scene is completed with some equally dramatic scores of the Cornish coast and the pastoral countryside.
