Chris Hadfield is joining us for The Search for Truth! ✨

Engineer, musician, best-selling author, former Commander of the International Space Station, and a member of the STARMUS Advisory Board, Col. Hadfield has shared some of the most unforgettable moments with us over the years!

“It’s a real pleasure to return to STARMUS, surrounded by extraordinary minds, artists and pioneers from around the world.

STARMUS is unlike any other festival — it brings science, music and culture together in a way that sparks curiosity, expands our sense of possibility and reminds us of the wonder of discovery! I’m excited to take the stage once more and make some music under the spectacular night sky of the Canary Islands.” ✨

What happens in a fraction of a second so small it is almost impossible to imagine? ✨

Professor Ferenc Krausz has spent his career making the invisible visible.

A pioneer of attosecond science and 2023 Nobel Laureate in Physics, his groundbreaking work has given humanity new ways to observe the ultrafast world of electrons.

This October, he joins STARMUS VIII in the Canary Islands.

Happy Birthday to Sir Christopher Nolan! 🎂🎬

Few filmmakers have shaped modern cinema the way Sir Christopher has—bringing together visionary storytelling, scientific curiosity, and extraordinary craftsmanship. His films continue to inspire millions to look beyond the horizon!

A truly deserving recipient of the Stephen Hawking Medal for Science Communication, Sir Christopher received the award at Universal Studios before beginning work on The Odyssey.✨

He also sat down for an exclusive STARMUS interview with our co-founder, Dr. Garik Israelian, and ‘Interstellar’scientific advisor, Prof. Kip Thorne.
Stay tuned-it’s coming soon to our YouTube channel. 😊📺

Happy Birthday, Sir Christopher! Here’s to many more unforgettable journeys! 🎥✨

Rick Wakeman is writing NEW MUSIC for STARMUS VIII and the 10th anniversary of the Stephen Hawking Medal. 🏅✨

Rick is a true legend of progressive rock! You can hear his iconic mellotron and piano work on David Bowie’s “Space Oddity” and “Life on Mars?”, on countless legendary tracks by Yes, and, of course, throughout his solo albums!

Rick has also played a huge role in the history of STARMUS. He composed the official STARMUS Theme, wrote “Gombe Stream,” dedicated to Dr. Jane Goodall for STARMUS VII in Slovakia, and has given unforgettable performances over the years, including a full concert with Sir Brian May in 2014. 🎸

We can’t wait to embark on another musical adventure with you, Rick! 🎹🎶

Inspired by Stephen Hawking, “Echoes from Black Holes” will be an exclusive concert featuring a chamber ensemble of strings, flute, and oboe. 🪐✨
