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
