Edward Gardner returns to conduct Holst’s most famous score, The Planets, with the astrological character of each of the celestial bodies. Each planetary “portrait” reveals a fitting attribute, from Mars’ bellicose hammer blows to the haunting resonances of Neptune, “The Mystic.” The program will also include Walton's Coronation Te Deum and the U.S. premiere of James McMillan's Where the Lugar meets the Glaisnock.
The concert will feature euphonium soloist David Childs.
