A historic event took place on Sunday, Mar. 14, Einstein’s birthday, when Astronaut Dr. Soichi Noguchi (JAXA, Japan Exploration Agency) was inducted as a Genius 100 Visionary.
Miami Symphony Orchestra (MISO) Maestro Eduardo Marturet, a fellow Genius100 Visionary, took part in the ceremony along with a global representation of the organization.
The celebration and induction were divided into a three-part event during that same day.
At precisely 3:14 p.m., Genius 100 Foundation was connected to a live feed at the International Space Station for a private ceremony and conversation with Dr. Noguchi. During this private event, Planet 9, an opus Maestro Marturet composed exclusively to be performed in space, was performed for this occasion. Marturet and many other Genius 100 Visionaries took part in this once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Prior to the out-this-world event, there was a community event at 1 p.m. EST, to honor Einstein’s birthday, and to celebrate the inauguration of Astronaut Soichi Noguchi on becoming a Genius100 Visionary. The event was hosted by Genius100 Foundationvia YouTube live streaming. An exceptional performance by the Miami Symphony Orchestra was part of the event.
In 2019, Maestro Marturet, was inducted as a Genius 100 Visionary, and there to support him, amongst the G100 global community, was Dr. Soichi Noguchi. On Sunday, Maestro Marturet returned the honor.
At 6 p.m., the complete performance of Marturet’s Planet 9 was streamed on the MISO Youtube channel. This piece was composed by the Maestro in honor of his fellow visionary Dr. Noguchi, featuring concertmaster Daniel Andai and G100 Visionary, electric guitarist Konstantin Batygin. Batygin, a world-renowned astronomer, co-discovered the Planet 9. The video was produced by Fernando Duprat, Miami Symphony’s executive producer for Special Events, taking place at the Miami Design District’s Moore Building, Elastika.
