SAN ANTONIO – Immerse yourself in a cosmic musical experience by attending UTSA’s newest musical, “Interstellar.”
The university’s School of Music students will perform at 7 p.m. Thursday in the recital hall located in UTSA’s Art Building.
The musical will feature songs inspired by the cosmic images captured by the James Webb Space Telescope, according to a news release.
Jordan Boyd, assistant director of Choral Activities for UTSA and creator of the musical, had a revelation while viewing the space images.
“I had this realization. It was this stunning moment of ‘Wow, we’re so small. How do I capture this in music?’ So, I sat down with my music and started writing down ideas,” Boyd said.
Boyd teamed up with Packham, a UTSA Department of Physics and Astronomy professor, to bring to life the galactic musical.
“The bridge between music and astronomy is a nice, unusual approach to follow. Building these multidisciplinary bridges is something we at UTSA wants to see happen more and more,” Packham said.
