Flagstaff Star Party - Music under the Stars

Flagstaff Star Party - Music under the Stars

Presented by Flagstaff Dark Skies Coalition at Buffalo Park

In the premier performance of the Dark Skies String Quartet, violinists David Koerner and Marty Cook, violist Cindy Binkley, and cellist Melissa Cripps will accompany the emergence of stars and planets under the darkening sky after sunset, including new arrangements of “Sunset” from Grofé‘s Grand Canyon Suite, and “Jupiter” from Holst’s The Planets. Audience members are invited to sit back and watch the universe unfold. In between musical selections, violinist/astronomer David Koerner will point out bright planets and stars as they come into view. The concert will be followed by an introduction to Native American constellations complemented by a modern western understanding of stars, planets, and features in the Milky Way Galaxy.

A special FREE event in the 2019 Flagstaff Star Party – Meet the Stars!
