About the Event
Narrated by Tom Hanks
Join the RPO for a night steeped in the cosmic wonders of space in breathtaking high‐definition.
The symphonic piece 'Deep Field' by Grammy®-winning composer Eric Whitacre draws inspiration from the iconic Hubble Space Telescope and its most famous discovery—the legendary 'Deep Field' image.
After a brief intermission, the RPO showcases Anne Nikitin's score for Lightroom’s acclaimed film 'The Moonwalkers.' Narrated and co‐written by Tom Hanks, this film takes a behind‐the‐scenes look at the Artemis program, hinting at the upcoming return of human missions to the Moon with insightful interviews between Hanks and Artemis astronauts. Experience Anne Nikitin’s original composition, performed live by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra at the Royal Albert Hall.
The evening’s music is accompanied by two bespoke films displayed on our big screen. This concert marks the first chance to experience 'The Moonwalkers' outside its original Lightroom setting, featuring a unique version with authentic NASA footage, Andy Saunders’ “Apollo Remastered” images, and Tom Hanks’ pre‐recorded narration that whisks you to the lunar surface. The night begins with Eric Whitacre’s melodies paired with 'Deep Field: The Impossible Magnitude of Our Universe,' a visual symphony of stunning Hubble images and bespoke animations.
