STARMUS VIII concludes on La Palma with a free public closing concert featuring composer Ilan Eshkeri. The performance brings Space Station Earth to Los Llanos de Aridane, closing six days in which science, space exploration and music meet across Tenerife and La Palma.

Eshkeri’s large-scale project was created in association with the European Space Agency and turns the experience of viewing Earth from orbit into an audiovisual concert. Electronic and orchestral textures, space imagery and a cinematic score invite the audience to see the planet as a shared, fragile home.
