In 1977, aboard the Voyager space probe, humans sent a message of hope and good will into space for whoever might find it… a golden record album containing music from across the globe. Now, in 2025, composer/arranger Russ Kaplan has taken this “global mixtape” as inspiration for a unique concert that highlights our shared humanity. With an 8-piece ensemble comprised of only the most universal instruments - voices and percussion - Kaplan and his musicians present stirring and innovative new arrangements of highlights from the Golden Record, as well as original pieces created with multicultural collaborators. From China to the Republic of the Congo, from Bach to Chuck Berry, Music From Earth is a truly optimistic and international musical experience. No Cover | All Ages | Family Friendly
