The Planets

Out of this world. Francesco returns and springs into action with John Adams’ kinetic showpiece Short Ride in a Fast Machine, evoking an exhilarating ride in a Lamborghini.

We’re then launched orbit for Gustav Holst's The Planets, a thrilling and familiar journey through the mythical astrological characters each embodies.

Pianist and composer-in-residence Dan Tepfer presents a new concerto for piano and orchestra, complete with improvisation and real-time visualizations.

“One of the moment's most adventurous and relevant musicians.”
New York Magazine on composer and pianist Dan Tepfer

Tickets start at $15, with $10 student/youth tickets.
