We are proud to present an evening of classical music and astronomy! Come and enjoy the fabulous atmosphere as The Brighton Chamber Ensemble with oboe soloist Mark Andrew James play the music of William Herschel, Mozart and Beethoven in one of the historic telescope domes. A buffet will be served during the interval and weather permitting, viewing will take place through the historic telescopes following the concert. This will be a tremendous mix of science and the arts which in Herschel's day was not uncommon. William Herschel was a German born British astronomer and composer. He composed 24 symphonies and among other things discovered Uranus.
