A Universal Planet in Concert

The world is beautiful. And that beauty is universal across our solar system at least. And potentially all across the universe – connected by physics. That got clear on April 25, 2026, when the Nuremberg Symphony Orchestra performed Holst’s Planets at the Meistersingerhalle accompanied by large-scale visual projections created by Tobias Beuchert and myself. I was truly moved seeing NASA, ESA, ESO and, of course, Remote Sensations imagery unfold alongside the Nuremberg Symphony Orchestra. It’s definitely not something that you call an everyday experience!
