Artists

Alyssa Wang Conductor
Nathan Olson Soloist, Violin

Running time: about 1 h 33 min including an intermission (estimate from the works' usual timings; not every piece has one)

Worth the drive: Holst's seven-movement orchestral portrait of the planets as astrological characters, prized for its huge range of orchestral color from menacing march to hushed vanishing chorus. More about Gustav Holst's The Planets, suite for orchestra and female chorus, Op. 32, H.125 →
