Earth Music Theater Live (EMTL) is an immersive multimedia performance blending live music with stunning imagery of Earth captured aboard the International Space Station. Featuring former NASA astronaut Cady Coleman and a special appearance by Monte Belmonte, EMTL combines cinematic soundscapes, storytelling, and visuals from space in a powerful all-ages experience.

Created by Northampton-based composer and guitarist Steve Thomas, EMTL is a genre-defying performance that combines cinematic soundscapes, spoken word, and astronaut perspectives to explore our planet from space—inviting audiences to reflect on the beauty, fragility, and interconnectedness of life on Earth.

The performance features a standout ensemble of Valley musicians including Chris Cheek (alto saxophone), Claire Arenius (drums and percussion), Josh Metz (acoustic bass), and Easthampton-based multi-instrumentalist Carl Clements (bansuri, flute, soprano saxophone). Together, they create dynamic, genre-spanning music that evolves in real time alongside breathtaking visual sequences from orbit.

The event also includes a scale model of the International Space Station and a post-show book signing with Cady Coleman.
