Dear BeyondTheNest readers:

Some evenings remind you why live music is one of life's great pleasures. Principal Pops Conductor Jeff Tyzik and the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra promise to do exactly that with SPACE! on April 24 and 25.

Reprising the energy of 2024's celebrated Eclipse program, this concert is a sophisticated and deeply satisfying journey through the music of the cosmos with even more performances by internationally-renowned aerialists Troupe Vertigo — from the majestic grandeur of Strauss and Holst to the sweeping cinematic genius of John Williams and James Horner, all woven together under Jeff Tyzik's signature artistry.

The program is a masterclass in how orchestral music and popular culture intersect at their finest:

Richard Strauss – Also sprach Zarathustra (the iconic opening)
Gustav Holst – Mars from The Planets, performed with the breathtaking acrobatics of Troupe Vertigo
Debussy/arr. Tyzik – Clair de Lune, reimagined for a cosmic soundscape
Cary Ratcliff – Aurora Borealis, featuring the voices of Madrigalia
John Williams – Close Encounters of the Third Kind & Star Wars Suite
James Horner – Avatar Suite with Madrigalia
Jeff Tyzik – Star Suite (Lift Off, Nebula, Galileo)

This is an evening to savor — the kind of concert you'll still be talking about over dinner afterward. Stunning visuals, world-class performers, and the full power of your RPO in one of the most beloved programs in recent memory.
