The program blends stunning imagery of the Aurora Borealis with a symphonic score, bringing the science and mythology of the Northern Lights to life. This performance is a journey into the heart of a natural wonder and a chance to experience the breathtaking beauty of the Arctic’s “frozen fire” through the power of the Symphony.
