OVERVIEW

Step into the cosmos as we bring Holst’s The Planets (An HD Odyssey) to our stage in a celestial exploration of the skies. Projected in HD on a giant screen over the stage, the latest NASA images from modern space voyages provide a stunning visual canvas as our musicians perform this iconic composition. From the relentless rhythms of Mars (Bringer of War) to the serene beauty of Venus (Bringer of Peace), experience the magic of this multimedia event. The Planets is perfectly paired with Miguel Farías’ Retratos Australes (Southern Portraits), echoing the theme of mysterious beauty.

As a Masterworks Magnified event, the works on this program will be introduced with insights from our host, USUO Vice President of Education and Community Engagement Ben Kipp.
