Explore the secrets of the universe with Professor Brian Cox and Daniel Harding

Explore the secrets of the universe with Professor Brian Cox and Daniel Harding in this special event by Britten Sinfonia, combining ground-breaking science with the power of the orchestra.

Bringing together extraordinary imagery and some of the greatest orchestral music ever written, Professor Cox examines astonishing cosmic ideas and creates the links between cosmology and music by Mahler, Strauss and Sibelius.
