The Kansas City Symphony: The Planets
The Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts, 1601 Broadway Blvd, Kansas City, MO 64108
I'm so pleased to once again join the Kansas City Symphony in a performance of the epic score The Planets by Gustav Holst!
From the KCS website:
Vimbayi Kaziboni, guest conductor
MingYu Hsu, viola
Sopranos and altos of the Kansas City Symphony Chorus
GIACINTO SCELSI Selections from Quattro Pezzi (su una nota sola)
LUDWIG VAN BEETHOVEN Overture to Egmont
BOHUSLAV MARTINŮ Rhapsody-Concerto for Viola and Orchestra
GUSTAV HOLST The Planets
Take a stellar musical trip as the Kansas City Symphony plays Gustav Holst’s The Planets! This astrological and astronomical trek includes a militant march for Mars (which inspired music for the movie “Gladiator”), a sweeping, majestic theme for Jupiter and the women of the Symphony Chorus joining the orchestra for the mysterious, otherworldly Neptune movement. Plus, our own principal viola, MingYu Hsu, takes a solo turn in Bohuslav Martinů’s Rhapsody-Concerto for Viola and Orchestra.
