The Golden Record
A playlist of the planet.
How do we explain humanity and life on our planet as we know it? This Soulpepper concert is inspired by The Voyager Golden Record, a phonograph message that NASA sent out into space in an effort to communicate our world to any extraterrestrials who might find it. The album contained sounds and images selected to portray the diversity of life and culture on Earth.
Conceived by Mike Ross, our Slaight Family Director of Music, this show allows our new ensemble of Slaight Music Associates to express themselves through song and storytelling.
