Have you ever dreamed of seeing the Northern Lights? On 23 and 24 October 2026, Museon-Omniversum in The Hague brings the magic of the Canadian aurora to its dome theatre, accompanied by a live piano performance by Canadian pianist and composer Roman Zavada.
Résonances Boréales is an immersive audiovisual experience combining live music with spectacular 360-degree projections of the Northern Lights. With only four performances scheduled, visitors have a limited opportunity to experience this unusual combination of music and nature.
A Musical Journey to Northern Canada
For this project, Roman Zavada travelled to Prelude Lake in Canada’s Northwest Territories, where he placed his piano outdoors at the edge of the northern forest.
Inspired by the landscape and the Northern Lights, he spent approximately twenty hours improvising music in the natural surroundings. These sessions eventually became nine compositions reflecting the atmosphere of the Canadian wilderness.
During Résonances Boréales, Zavada performs his compositions live on piano while breathtaking footage of the Canadian aurora fills the dome theatre.
The imagery, created by Bruno Colpron and Dominic St-Amant, transports audiences to the far north without leaving The Hague.
Music and Nature Combined
Roman Zavada is a pianist and composer with Québécois and Ukrainian roots. His work draws inspiration from nature, improvisation and the relationship between music and moving images.
He is also known for his Ciné-Piano performances, in which he accompanies classic silent films with live piano improvisations.
Résonances Boréales offers an experience that can be appreciated regardless of language, making it particularly appealing to The Hague’s international community.
