Description
Where in the galaxy, other than Earth, could human life survive? Proxima B may be the answer to this cosmic question. First discovered in 2016, NASA says “The exoplanet is at a distance from its star that allows temperatures mild enough for liquid water to pool on its surface.” Journey over four light years to the Alpha Centauri triple star system in this ethereal work. Hear and feel the excitement and danger of traveling beyond our solar system in this sci-fi-inspired, cinematic-style concert work that is sure to capture the imagination of performers and audiences! This piece was the 2022 winner of the National Band Association Young Band Composition Contest.
