CLEVELAND, OH—This March, the Cleveland Museum of Natural History is excited to welcome Stardust: An Immersive Music Experience to the Nathan and Fannye Shafran Planetarium! These immersive shows will run from Tuesday, March 25 to Sunday, March 30, with two daily performances at 1pm and 5pm.
The groundbreaking experience combines a live, improvised score paired with stunning 360-degree space footage, transporting audiences on a visual and auditory journey from the surface of the Sun to the barren wastelands of Neptune, and the farthest reaches of time and space. Every performance is a one-of-a-kind experience, earning sold-out shows and rave reviews across the country. Vegas411.com described the sold-out residency in Las Vegas as "A visionary, pulse-pounding, awe-inspiring experience," while TheBay.net called it “Amazing, Dynamic, and Engaging.”
With record-breaking attendance at every venue, Stardust: An Immersive Music Experience continues to captivate audiences nationwide, blending the excitement of the space race, science fiction, and space exploration into an unforgettable cultural experience. Audiences will experience the inspirations behind this show drawing from the space race, film score and science fiction zeitgeist.
Stardust: An Immersive Music Experience is performed by Las Vegas-based live looping innovator John Allen who has performed for audiences worldwide and has been in the vanguard of the live looping (or one-man band) platform for over 15 years. With sold-out residencies from Las Vegas, Tacoma and the Washington, DC area to corporate events in Mexico and Los Angeles to touring from Seattle to Berlin, Allen is equally at home onstage or in the classroom inspiring artists on their creative journey.
Daily shows at the Museum will also feature an exclusive VIP experience directly following each 5pm performance. Guests will have the opportunity for a behind-the-scenes look that includes Q&A with Allen, as well as hands-on access to the cutting-edge music technology used to create the live score.
