It turns out the acoustics in the dome at Mt. Wilson Observatory are extraordinary. On one Sunday each month, the observatory hosts a concert.
I’ve been to my fair share of live music performances, held everywhere from Radio City Music Hall to college dorm rooms. The first concert I saw was the Jonas Brothers in New York City’s Central Park . Still, I never predicted I’d find myself inside the dome of an iconic telescope, about to listen to a classical music concert.
The idea to host live music in the dome was born from a conversation in 2017 between Kohne and Cécilia Tsan, professional cellist and artistic director of the Mt. Wilson Observatory concerts. Kohne described the acoustics in the space as “extraordinary” and urged Tsan to bring in her cello to test it out. So she did. AKohne and Tsan decided to work together to take advantage of the unique acoustics and create a celebration of music and science.
The Zeller String Quartet performs in the dome housing the 100-inch Hooker telescope at Mt. Wilson Observatory.Beyond the concert, getting to the dome is an experience in itself. First, the drive to Mt. Wilson Observatory can be quite harrowing, with sharp, anxiety-inducing twists and turns through the San Gabriel Mountains. Once you park in one of the two lots near the entrance, you can either ride a shuttle to the dome or walk. I decided on the latter.
