Vienna Symphony Orchestra’s “Space Waltz” Performance

Vienna Symphony Orchestra's "Space Waltz" Performance

The Vienna Symphony Orchestra will perform the famous waltz "The Blue Danube" live on May 31, with a unique twist: it will be broadcast into space. This performance of Johann Strauss II’s iconic piece is part of a project called "Space Waltz," which aims to send music into space for the first time ever.

Performance Details

  • A pre-recorded version of the performance will play as it passes key planets in our solar system due to concerns about potential technical issues during transmission through space at high frequencies.

Signal Transmission Times

  • Mars: Data can be received within a few minutes.
  • Jupiter: Signals take nearly an hour after transmission.
  • Neptune: Signal delay exceeds four hours.
  • Voyager 1: A signal can reach interstellar space within twenty-three hours.

Despite these challenges, the live broadcast of "The Blue Danube" will still take place in three cities:

  • Vienna
  • Madrid
  • New York City
