A MUSICAL JOURNEY OF EXPLORATION AND IMAGINATION
NASA’s decade-long mission to land humans on the Moon in the 1960s defines the American spirit. The science, engineering, teamwork, determination and sheer guts that got Neil Armstrong and Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin to the surface of the Moon and back in July of 1969 represents the pinnacle of American exceptionalism.

“I first became enthralled with the space program when my dad showed me photographs that he had taken of the television broadcast of the first moon landing. I was too young to have any recollection of it, but seeing those photos taken in our family room inspired me to learn more. Voyage not only marks the 50th Anniversary of the moon landing, but it also honors the men and women who dared to dream for us all.”
-MICHAEL GIACCHINO, composer
