This year, the Davos gathering featured a striking panel that bridged the worlds of astronomy and music. Astrophysicist and guitarist Brian May, pop sensation Jean-Michel Jarre, the discoverer of the first exoplanets, Michel Mayor, and astronaut Claude Nicollier came together for a roundtable discussion, sharing their passion for both art and space. Alongside them was their host, astrophysicist Garik Israelian, organizer of the largest science festival, Starmus, which will bring everyone together in Zurich, Switzerland, from June 24 to 29, 2019. This event will enhance the unique relationship between science and music. During the session, Jarre unveiled his groundbreaking tribute to the Apollo missions, coinciding with the 50th anniversary of the Moon landing.
For the first time, Jarre utilized the «sounds of stars» library developed by Israelian to compose his music. «I am thrilled to incorporate the actual sounds of planets and stars in this innovative homage to the Apollo Missions,» the French musician stated, as noted by the organization.
This musical piece will be showcased in full during the Starmus festival, aligning with the anniversary of the lunar landings, one of the most significant milestones in science. Jarre will lead a concert featuring «sounds of stars» alongside other rock icons such as Brian May, Brian Eno, Steve Vai, and Rick Wakeman. Additionally, Hans Zimmer will pay his unique tribute to space missions with his concert «Once Upon a Time on The Moon.» As in previous years, Starmus will also host an extraordinary lineup of scientists, including a dozen Nobel laureates, alongside numerous astronauts and cosmonauts.
