Interfinity Festival 2026: Exoplanets – with the Basel Symphony Orchestra

The Interfinity Festival 2026 is dedicated to exoplanets and the cosmos – in close collaboration with the Swiss National Centre of Competence in Research (NCCR) PlanetS, which the University of Bern leads. This is the Swiss premiere of Exoplanets, a new work by Robert Laidlow, performed by the Sinfonieorchester Basel in the vast, empty Messehalle 1. Established by the Swiss National Science Foundation in June 2014, the NCCR PlanetS brings together researchers from the Universities of Berne (Leading House), Geneva (co-Leading House), and Zürich as well as of the ETH Zürich.
