Join us #AtCERN for a galactic journey where science and music collide 💫
Young pianists from Haute école de musique de Genève - Neuchâtel (HEM) will be playing pieces from inspirational composers, with stunning scientific films of subatomic particles, the solar system and the Universe as a background, produced by Emmy-nominated astronomer and filmmaker José Francisco Salgado.
This event will be co-created by CERN, the HEM and KV 265, a non-profit organisation whose mission is the communication of science through music and the visual arts.
📍CERN Science Gateway, Auditorium Sergio Marchionne
📆 31 March 2026, starting from 19h30
