Music & Royal Family (part 1)

“To Mr. Petipa, who makes my music heard with the eyes.”

Music & Science (part 1)

Science tries to understand what is happening in the human mind. Art helps to feel what words cannot say.
Research provides tools. Music gives breath. Together they strengthen an emancipated, open and sensitive society.

Music & Royal Family (part 2)

"Music is a universal language that can bring people closer together”.

Music & Science (part 2)

Producing clicks and receiving the echoes, hunting by using very fast, high-pitched calls or by using low-frequency calls, singing a courtship song to attract females during the mating season, these are just a few examples that show that every sound has its function in the world of porpoises and two species of bats.

Music & Space

Science is not just about explaining the world. It also inspires imagination and artistic creation.
Space exploration can become music, somewhere in between science and art.
