National Geographic: Symphony for Our World
Overture Center-Overture Hall 201 State St., Madison, Wisconsin 53703
Fans of nature documentaries will not want to miss this larger-than-life spectacle: 90 minutes of breathtaking National Geographic footage that begins under the ocean, climbs onto the coastlines and soars into the sky. It’s all timed to a five-part symphony played by the expert musicians of the Madison Symphony Orchestra and Chorus. The music was composed by Austin Fray and Andrew Christie for a TV special, but we are betting the live experience will be mind-blowing. (Note: John DeMain will not be conducting at this concert.)
