Raymond Gubbay Christmas Season

,Hall
Planets

A Celestial Journey Through Sound and Symphony

Step into the cosmic splendour of Gustav Holst’s The Planets, a piece which promises to stir the senses and ignite the imagination.

From the fiery intensity of Mars to the serene beauty of Venus and the mystery of Neptune, Holst’s awe-inspiring suite captures the character of each planet with unforgettable power and emotion. This is classical music at its most cinematic and thrilling, conducted by Lee Reynolds with the Philharmonia Orchestra.


Set alongside other orchestral gems, this concert offers a journey through some of the most expressive and dynamic music ever composed, culminating in Holst’s iconic masterpiece.

Soaring strings. Thunderous brass. Unmatched scale.
