And Galileo begins with Vivaldi.” The Galileo Project: Music of the Spheres is a Tafelmusik multimedia performance piece featuring the music of Vivaldi, Lully, Monteverdi and others. Conceived and scripted by Alison Mackay, the ensemble’s bassist, and unveiled in Calgary in 2009, which the United Nations had declared the International Year of Astronomy, it includes projections of astronomical and other scenes, a narrator and an “unfettered” orchestra: the players memorized their parts so that while playing they could move around the performance space, including into the audience. The production was designed by Glenn Davidson, who has designed several of Tafelmusik’s multimedia programs.The cover photo is from 2010, when the show played in La Jolla, California.
