Holst’s the Planets

Wed, Feb 26–Sat, Mar 1, 2025 Roy Thomson Hall

Holst’s famed The Planets is a powerful and sublime symphonic tour of the solar system; its iconic “Mars” the inspiration for Darth Vader’s theme, “The Imperial March”. Award-winning British conductor Thomas Adès also presents two of his own works: “Paradiso” from Dante, evoking transcendence into heaven, and his Piano Concerto, its unconventional rhythms and harmonies creating a unique and memorable musical journey for the listener.
