Amanda Falkenberg

Experience a one-of-a-kind presentation that blends live orchestral excerpts, cinematic visuals, and true space exploration stories. Amanda takes audiences behind the scenes of her collaboration with NASA scientists and astronauts, revealing how cutting-edge planetary science inspired the creation of THE MOONS SYMPHONY®. Praised by Ravinia Magazine as “a new work of genius,” this symphonic journey guides participants through the distant worlds of the outer solar system and back home again — offering a profound perspective shift that redefines how we see Earth and our place in the cosmos.

In this talk, Amanda introduces LUNAR (Learning Under New Artistic Regimes), an innovative STEAM platform directly connected to THE MOONS SYMPHONY®. A cinematic soundtrack guides participants on a voyage to distant moons, where scientific discovery and artistic imagination merge. This transformative adventure ends with a journey back home — offering a powerful shift in perspective on our planet, our future, and our shared humanity.

How do you turn planetary science into a symphonic journey? Amanda reveals her creative process behind THE MOONS SYMPHONY® — consulting with NASA scientists, weaving mission data into music, and designing LUNAR to take participants on a guided adventure through sound, science, and art. Audiences experience how distant worlds and scientific data can be transformed into a cinematic journey of discovery, reflection, and perspective.
