:unlimited Musica Universalis | Ensemble Meridiem

In the organizer's words:

Fancy early music combined with dance, techno or visual art? The :unlimited series by zamus: zentrum für alte musik köln combines the past with the present:

For thousands of years, people have gazed at the heavens with fascination - seeing not only stars and planets, but also divine signs, mythical stories and philosophical speculation. This concert combines Renaissance and early Baroque music with an exciting lecture on the idea of "Musica universalis" - the harmony of the spheres.

The Ensemble Meridiem performs vocal and instrumental works that tell of the sun, moon, stars and the universe. Music researcher Christian Tölle introduces the Pythagorean idea that the movements of the celestial bodies create an inaudible, perfect harmony - an idea that was repeatedly reinterpreted in the early modern period.

On this evening, music and science combine to create an exploration of the cosmos and its hidden sounds.
