One of the first large events in Maine to be canceled at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 was the Maine Science Festival in Bangor, which was supposed to begin six days after the first confirmed case of the virus was detected in Maine. Two years later, after lots of waiting and a whole lot of Zoom, an in-person Maine Science Festival will return for five days beginning on March 16 — including the long-awaited full premiere of Lucas Richman’s symphonic work “The Warming Sea,” the festival’s commission from the Bangor Symphony Orchestra.
