SOUND OF HONEY
Where there’s honey, there’s a buzz. This rings true for the Colorado based band, Sound of Honey. Emma Rose (formerly of Big Richard) has been steeped in the music scene since she entered this world. Raised by two talented musicians and with a natural knack for songwriting, Rose has spent the last few years fine tuning her quiver of indie-soul-folk songs with only the finest pollen that the spring flowers have to offer. Rich, crystalline vocal melodies weave themselves through a sweet sonic landscape created with the help of Tobias Bank (Whippoorwill, Frail Talk) on drums, percussion, and backup vocals, Matt Cantor on bass, and Enmanuel Alexander on electric guitar. Together their warm hues, sultry harmonies and gentle tones create an experience of overall mellow- sparking curiosity of oneself and the emotions that come with diving into the human experience.

BLACK HOLES AND SOLAR SUPERSTORMS
Narrated by Liam Neeson, black holes are among the most mysterious and exotic objects in the Universe. These dark beasts are one of a few phenomena out in the cosmos where the known laws of physics and general relativity break down. Black Holes: The Other Side of Infinity explores the power and grace of these cosmic beasts.
The show marries science and art in a new way that compromises neither. In particular, the show breaks new ground in visualizing accurately what Einstein’s equations predict about what really happens inside black holes. 
Narrated by Benedict Cumberbatch, Solar Superstorms takes viewers into the tangle of magnetic fields and super-hot plasma that vent the sun’s rage in dramatic flares, violent solar tornadoes, and the largest eruptions in the solar system, coronal mass ejections. Audiences will witness a fury building on the surface of the sun – high-velocity jets, a fiery tsunami wave that reaches 100,000 kilometers high, rising loops of electrified gas. What’s driving these strange phenomena? How will they affect planet Earth? Find the answers inside the sun.
