Abstract
In the past, several authors highlighted analogies between classical music and astronomy fundamentals, comparing acoustic and melody features with the characteristics of cosmic objects. However, we believe that a more profound con- nection between the two disciplines can be explored, considering the harmonic struc- ture and the formal arrangement of symphonic compositions. This new approach can provide a more insightful understanding of both music theory and astrophysics, inspiring both music and physics lovers. In this contribution, we present the format and content of the event “Cosmos-lovers’ symphonic guide to the galaxy”, a show imagined and conceived on the basis of this new perspective on the valuable bino- mial of music and astronomy. During this event, astrophysicist Simone Iovenitti and orchestra conductor Ruben Jais present the analogies between the universe’s evolution and symphonies by Rebel, Rameau, and Ives, played by the Symphonic Orchestra of Milan. Images, animations, and videos are projected in the concert hall both during explanations and the live performance, ensuring a very immersive experience to the audience.
