Moon Music: An Orchestral Tribute to Coldplay at St Canice’s Cathedral

Moon Music, an orchestral reimagining of Coldplay’s most iconic songs, will be presented by the OneOrchestra Group at St Canice’s Cathedral. Set beneath Luke Jerram’s Museum of the Moon, this performance merges orchestral music with visual art to create a rare, immersive experience. Under the direction of Michael Amadi, founder of OneOrchestra, this special performance will transform Coldplay’s familiar melodies into a rich, cinematic soundscape. The band’s timeless songs are reinterpreted through a string quartet, piano, and voice, creating a dynamic atmosphere that feels both intimate and expansive.

"Coldplay’s music speaks to something universal," says Michael Amadi. "With Moon Music, we bring that connection to life through orchestral sound. It’s an immersive experience, where every note is amplified by the energy of the space, creating a moment that feels unforgettable." The historic St Canice’s Cathedral provides the perfect setting for this event. The cathedral’s acoustics, combined with Jerram’s stunning lunar installation, create a captivating visual and auditory experience. This collaboration between music, space, and light offers a fresh perspective on Coldplay’s music, bringing it into a new context where every detail is enhanced by the environment.

This performance is not just a concert — it’s a complete sensory experience, where the music, setting and atmosphere come together to create something truly special.
