Artistic Director Cécilia Tsan curates thoughtful musical adventures
under the magnificent vaulted dome of the 100-inch telescope.
The 100-inch telescope is the instrument with which astronomer Edwin Hubble discovered our place in an expanding universe and so expanded our comprehension. The dome for the telescope—designed by Chicago architect D.H. Burnham—is a 20th century temple to science whose acoustics rival the great cathedrals of Europe and provides a unique setting for this ambitious music series.
A reception will be held outside the dome at 4 PM. Light refreshments will be served.
PLEASE NOTE: Access to the dome performance level is via a 53-step staircase. Mount Wilson Observatory is a mile high in elevation so the air is noticeably thinner. There is no ADA-compliant access.
CELEBRATING BEN POWELL
Leah Zeger, violin & vocals, Zach Dellinger, viola, Cécilia Tsan, cello, Roch Lockyer, guitar & vocals, Brian Netzley, bass.
Honoring our dear friend, the late Ben Powell, violinist extraordinaire who passed away way too soon. Ben opened our series at Mount Wilson in 2017 at the very first concert in the Dome. As Ben’s friends, we will perform music from various genres, honoring his exceptional versatility on the violin and his beautiful soul.
