Movies Meet Music
Saturday, 11/15/2025 18:00 Planet Harburg
Planet Harburg opens the portal to the stars! Everyone should have seen Stanley Kubrick's "2001: A Space Odyssey" on the big screen once in their life! The film series "Movies Meet Music" at the Hamburg University of Music and Drama presents the masterpiece with an introduction and supporting program. To this day, Kubrick's epic tale, which takes us from the origins of mankind to the distant future, is one of the most important science fiction films ever made. Quoted and copied thousands of times, the breathtaking original has lost none of its fascination over 50 years later. The music by György Ligeti plays a major part in this. With his incomparable compositions, Ligeti's microtonal sound world becomes the voice of the unknown. But behind the seemingly perfect mix of film and soundtrack lies an unsuspected scandal, which we want to shed some light on this evening. Before the film, we offer interesting insights into the creation and effect of the film music used. As a special highlight, selected Ligeti pieces will be played live. Join us on this unique movie night across the universe and immerse yourself in the sound of the cosmos.
