These Sunday Concerts centre on various musical allusions to the stars and space as the ultimate setting for the human imagination. So, alongside pieces by John Williams, composed for the movies Star Wars and Superman, the Gulbenkian Orchestra will also play the overture to Also sprach Zarathustra, by R. Strauss, the sound icon of S. Kubrick’s film 2001: A Space Odyssey. The programme also includes J. Strauss’s Music of the Spheres, as well as allusions to Holst’s Jupiter and Dvořák’s Song to the Moon.
