Art meets science! Explore our oceans and our lands with the UCF Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Chung Park. First, take a stroll through the countryside with Beethoven’s Symphony No. 6 “Pastoral.” Listen for the chirping birds, a babbling brook, the thunderstorm and the frolicking humans in this bucolic masterpiece while watching animations from the School of Visual Arts and Design. Then dive into the seas in the Florida premiere of Stella Sung’s Oceana, a multimedia composition that lets patrons swim with whales to learn about marine conservancy and ocean noise pollution. During the concert, conservation experts discuss what we can do to protect our marine and coastal environments. Visit the related exhibit from UCF Coastal in the lobby area throughout the week.
