The centerpiece of this program will be one of the grandest works of the 20th century, and Gustav Holst’s greatest masterpiece: The Planets.
We begin with Beethoven’s portrayal of the heroic Prometheus who, in defying the gods of Mount Olympus, stole fire to bring warmth, light and enlightenment to mankind. Next, Ernest Bloch’s homage to the noble philosopher-King Solomon—or Schelomo, as performed by world-renowned cellist Amit Peled. Finally, you’ll see (and hear) an enormous orchestra on stage, and the women of our Symphonic Choir off stage as we perform Holst’s monumental achievement.
Majestic!
