EVENTSAndrea Clearfield's Salon Performance of NGC 981 for flute and djembe. Traveling approximately 60 million light years away toward the constellations Aries, one will find an island universe about 50,00 light years across. This spiral galaxy, named NGC 981, was recently host to a cosmic moment important to astrophysicists on Earth. In October, scientists from the US and Japan discovered light from supernova SN2009js, the death explosion of a massive star within the plane of galaxy NGC 981. This work portrays this event, from the intensity of this massive explosion as it ripples through the universe, the immensity of galaxy itself, to the beauty of this colossal phenomenon. Performed by Dr. Cynthia Folio (flute) and Adam Vidiksis (djembe).
Temple Composers Orchestra Concerts Second Performance Presented by conTemplum in conjunction with the Boyer College of Music and Dance, the Temple Composers Orchestra under the direction of Heidi Jacob will premiere Nebulae: Gravitational Collapse and Star Formation, conducted by Adam Vidiksis. This work seeks to depict the protracted genesis of stars. The drama of this profound celestial process is portrayed through a varying motive which coalesces and transforms throughout the work. The final moments of the piece reflect upon the momentous impact of this event in relation to the development of all living things.
