Critically acclaimed a cappella five-piece APOLLO5 is one of Britain’s smallest but most formidable vocal groups. Comprising a soprano, mezzo-soprano, two tenors and a bass, the ensemble – which takes its name from the ancient Greek god of music – has become known for its rich, dynamic sound, demonstrating how powerful five voices alone can be. With a versatile approach to music programming, and a repertoire spanning renaissance, classical and contemporary choral works to folk, jazz and pop, the group’s five voices bring the music of five centuries to life.

The Museum of Arts and Sciences is kicking off a Lecture Performance Series titled “The Art of Science”! Come learn about the Sciences through Art! You might find they rely on each other more than you thought! This series is for all ages, but is specifically for our life-long learners who want to learn something new! 

 

Mary Edna Fraser fills Macon Museum of Arts and Sciences with her signature large scale batiks on silk in Above, Between, Below—depicting breathtaking perspectives of space, earth, and deep sea. The ambitious exhibition bridges cutting-edge scholarship and the ancient art of batik—a technique of hand-dyeing fabrics by using removable wax as a dye resist. Working closely with collaborators Ted Maxwell (Planetary Scientist Emeritus, Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum), Orrin H. Pilkey (Geology Professor Emeritus, Duke University) and Cindy Lee Van Dover (Biologist, Past Director of the Duke Marine Lab), the artist has drawn upon their insights to create images that bring the grandeur of distant landscapes near to us. Viewers will develop a greater sense of our place in the universe!
