Sunday Afternoon Concerts in the Dome: October 5 - 5:00 PM Show

Sunday, October 5, 2025 at 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM

Mount Wilson Observatory, Mt Wilson

Artistic Director Cécilia Tsan curates thoughtful musical adventures under the magnificent vaulted dome of the 100-inch telescope. The [100-inch telescope](https://www.mtwilson.edu/100-telescope-observing/) is the instrument with which astronomer Edwin Hubble discovered our place in an expanding universe and so expanded our comprehension. The dome for the telescope—designed by Chicago architect D.H. Burnham—is a 20th century temple to science whose acoustics rival the great cathedrals of Europe and provides a unique setting for this ambitious music series. A reception will be held outside the dome at 4 PM. Light refreshments will be served. **PLEASE NOTE: Access to the dome performance level is via a 53-step staircase. Mount Wilson Observatory is a mile high in elevation so the air is noticeably thinner.
