UK & Ireland, Europe, the US, Australia, Asia-Pacific and beyond go on general sale at 10am (local times)
on Friday 3rd October 2025 via briancoxlive.co.uk.
In the winter of 1610 Johannes Kepler was crossing Prague’s Charles Bridge when he noticed a snowflake
land on his arm. Why, he asked, are all snowflakes six-cornered? “I do not believe,” he wrote, “that even
in a snowflake, this ordered pattern exists at random.”
400 years later, we have part of the answer. Snowflakes are made of water molecules, which are made of
atoms, which are made of quarks and electrons – which might be made of superstrings – all held together
by forces of nature described by quantum theory. But how does such delicate beauty emerge from such
abstract simplicity?
Emergence is a celebration of the intricacy of the Universe and an exploration of the laws of nature that
sculpted it. From the largest structures in the known Universe – the rivers and flows of galaxies that trace
the cosmic web – to Earth’s interlinked ecosystems and the structure of the human brain – from black
holes to snowflakes – we observe a world of dazzling complexity underpinned by magnificent simplicity.
How did a quarter of a million-year-old species of great apes on one small planet amongst trillions orbiting
around a middle-aged star in an average galaxy figure all this out, guided by curiosity, mathematics and
an aesthetic sense of symmetry and beauty? And what might we become if we can hold onto the ideas of
the enlightenment so successfully developed and deployed by Kepler and his contemporaries and
successors – ideas that have allowed us to begin to read the story of the Universe and carried our
spacecraft to the edge of the solar system and outwards to the stars.
Professor Brian Cox said: “I’ve loved creating Emergence – it’s the most ambitious live show I’ve ever
written. I’ve been very lucky to collaborate with a wonderful group of scientists, musicians, filmmakers
and graphic artists to bring cosmology, biology, philosophy and history to the largest and most advanced
LED screens available, with the best sound and lights I could find. I hope the show is an all-encompassing
experience, and I hope it leaves everyone, whether they love science or music or history, or simply
contemplating the beauty of Nature, with something new to think about.”
Brian has worked with a world-leading team of creatives for Emergence. Graphics and visual effects have
been created in collaboration with Emmy Award winning director Nic Stacey and digital artist Erik
Wernquist, and branding is by Peter Saville CBE, the renowned art director known for his original work
with Factory Records.
Brian has appeared in many landmark science programmes over the last 15 years, from the Peabody
Award-winning Wonders of the Solar System to worldwide hit series The Planets to his most recent
landmark series Solar System, which has become one of the best watched science series of the last decade.
