HVP: The Planets

Guest Conductor André Raphel

Gustav Holst’s The Planets was inspired by astrology rather than astronomy, but this powerful concert will be augmented with the premiere of extraordinary projected outer space imagery including those recently recovered from the Webb and Hubble Telescopes! The concert will also feature HVP String Competition winner, cellist Leland Ko, performing Tchaikovsky’s Variations on a Rococco Theme, op 33.
