On Hydrogen Day (10/08, after the atomic mass of hydrogen = 1.008), fan-favorite soprano Kristina Bachrach returns to Guarneri Hall with a wide-ranging program inspired by the celestial lights that hydrogen fuels. While the scientific community explores hydrogen’s potential in a clean-energy future, we’ll take a more mystical and evocative approach to celebrating this abundant element through art songs by Gabriel Fauré, Jake Heggie and more.
The program opens with remarks from Dr. Andrew Johnston, Vice President of Museum Experience & Collections at the Adler Planetarium.
