Musica Universalis | Ensemble Meridiem

The Ensemble Meridiem and music researcher Christian Tölle invite you to an extraordinary concert experience that impressively combines music and science. The "Musica Universalis" event takes you into the fascinating world of Renaissance and Baroque music, inspired by the order of the universe, the stars and the mythical cosmos. The audience experiences a musical exploration of the "harmony of the spheres", an idea that goes back to the Pythagoreans. This harmony describes the perfect sounds, inaudible to the human ear, that are created by the movements of the celestial bodies. Christian Tölle sheds light on how these original ideas were echoed in the musical and cosmic thinking of the early modern period and found new forms of expression. The combination of vocal and instrumental compositions with an informative lecture makes it possible to experience the various mythical narratives and scientific views in a uniquely interactive way. In this encounter with history, culture and science, not only the ear, but above all the mind is inspired and stimulated.
