From the space station, Wakata will perform a piece of    the ancient Gagaku music with a Japanese reed instrument called    a sho.  <\/p>\n<p>    The live Music in Space program will be broadcast on NASA    Television and webcasted on the DLiNfo Channel at 12:30 p.m.    EDT Friday, May 2.  <\/p>\n<p>    To attend the event at Johnson, media should contact Megan    Sumner at 281-483-5111 or <a href=\"mailto:megan.c.sumner@nasa.gov\">megan.c.sumner@nasa.gov<\/a>.    Johnson Space Center is located at 2101 NASA Parkway, Houston.  <\/p>\n<p>    This is the second Music in Space event. The first featured    astronaut Chris Hadfield formerly of the Canadian Space Agency    in March 2013. This event is a part of the Building Cultural    Bridges program, which links Pearl Hall Elementary with Johnson    Space Center and several arts organizations, providing    opportunities for students to discover that they are an    integral part of society at the local, state, national and    international levels.  <\/p>\n<p>    Linking students directly to space station astronauts provides    them with an innovative experience of space exploration,    scientific studies and the possibilities for future human space    exploration.  <\/p>\n<p>    These in-flight education events are part of a series with    educational organizations in the United States to improve    science, technology, engineering and mathematics teaching and    learning. It is a component of NASA's Digital Learning Network    education program, which is designed to deliver interactive    instruction in support of long-term retention of knowledge as    only NASA can.  <\/p>\n<p>    For NASA TV streaming video, schedules and downlink    information, visit:  <\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"rpyk1bcWX5\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/nasatv\/\">NASA TV Live<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"&#8220;NASA TV Live&#8221; &#8212; NASA\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/nasatv\/embed\/#?secret=6kxcR9iGfv#?secret=rpyk1bcWX5\" data-secret=\"rpyk1bcWX5\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>  <\/p>\n<p>    To watch the Digital Learning Network webcast, visit:  <\/p>\n<p><!-- Auto Generated --><\/p>\n<p>Go here to read the rest:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.yourhoustonnews.com\/pasadena\/living\/pasadena-elementary-school-students-to-perform-songs-live-with-space\/article_b0e0a970-c517-5b5f-9cc0-224b413521a8.html\/RK=0\/RS=gE7ApW.pyFLW5nIKRhsGAJzTFQ8-\" title=\"Pasadena elementary school students to perform songs live with Space Station astronaut\">Pasadena elementary school students to perform songs live with Space Station astronaut<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> Expedition 39 commander Koichi Wakata of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, currently aboard the International Space Station, will make space-to-Earth musical connections with students in Texas this week to share and explore the relationship between the arts and space exploration.  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/prometheism-transhumanism-posthumanism\/transhuman-news-blog\/space-station\/pasadena-elementary-school-students-to-perform-songs-live-with-space-station-astronaut\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-31621","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-space-station"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/prometheism-transhumanism-posthumanism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31621"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/prometheism-transhumanism-posthumanism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/prometheism-transhumanism-posthumanism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/prometheism-transhumanism-posthumanism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/prometheism-transhumanism-posthumanism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=31621"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/prometheism-transhumanism-posthumanism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31621\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/prometheism-transhumanism-posthumanism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=31621"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/prometheism-transhumanism-posthumanism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=31621"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/prometheism-transhumanism-posthumanism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=31621"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
