Moon Music

Evening Music | May 6, 2010
Tomorrow marks the 40th anniversary of man’s first landing and walk on the moon’s surface. In honor of the event, we recognize not only the exploration, but also the inspiration that the universal symbol of the moon has given to cultures worldwide. The moon has been a muse in the performing arts, visual arts and, of course, music. Tonight, we explore some of these works with pieces from Beethoven, George Gershwin, Radiohead and Billie Holiday.
