The ancient Greeks already believed that the movements of the celestial bodies create a harmony of the spheres that has an influence on the human soul. In his seven-movement programme music The Planets, Gustav Holst included mythological ideas people had about the planets: from the warlike Mars to the dissolute pleasure of Jupiter.

Before that, you will experience the Basel debut of the American string trio Time for Three, or TF3 for short. During the Covid pandemic, the American composer Kevin Puts had composed a concerto for TF3 and Orchestra. He imagined that the chorus of the concerto could be a message sent into space, containing references to our DNA, to our nature as earthlings.
