Tour the galaxy with the Vermont Symphonic Winds!
In anticipation of the coming solar eclipse on April 8, the Vermont Symphonic Winds, conducted by music director Lisa Jablow, will present PRECLIPSE, a complete performance of "The Planets" by English composer Gustav Holst. The concert will take place TONIGHT, Wednesday, March 13, at 7:00 p.m. at the Elley-Long Music Center in Colchester, VT. The VSW will be joined by Bella Voce, under the direction of Dawn Willis.
Each of the seven movements in the work paints a vivid musical portrait of a planet: in concert order Mars, Venus, Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Interestingly, Earth is not represented because Holst created the work from an astrological perspective. Since the earth has no astrological significance, he did not include it.
