Since the dawn of time, the skies have instilled wonder among those who gaze upon them, spurring exploration and creation. Join KC VITAs and the Arvin Gottlieb Planetarium for "Look Up" as they combine the fruits of the composer's labor with the views and phenomena that inspired them. This unique and immersive experience will have viewers traveling through the galaxies while enjoying live, brand new choral music by some of Kansas City's finest singers. "Look Up" is open to all ages, approximately one hour in length, and includes a reception afterward where you can meet and mingle with the artists. With only four performances, you will not want to miss this one-of-a-kind event! Union Station members will receive a free gift from KC VITAs with the purchase of their ticket.
