Music under the stars

By Jacob Teets

Music Under the Stars is a live concert with two performances on Jan. 31 at the Delta College Planetarium at 100 Center Ave. in Bay City. The main act is a live string quintet led by Gregg Powell, the principal bassist and personal manager of the performing symphony.

The music included will be “Mars, the Bringer of War” by Gustav Holst, “Symphony #41: Jupiter” by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, “Twilight: New Moon” by Alexandre Desplat and “Song Under the Stars” by Elena Roussanova Lucas.

Mike Murray, astronomer and manager of the planetarium, shared what makes this event stand out.

“Combining a live concert performance with the immersive setting of the dome theater has turned this into one of our most popular programs,” said Murray.

Tickets are available online at https://bit.ly/MUTS2026 or at the Delta College Planetarium for $25. Seating is limited, so pre-registration is encouraged. The first show starts at 4:30 p.m. and the second show starts at 6:30 p.m.
