Oregon Symphony: Holst’s The Planets

A triumph of orchestration, Holst’s The Planets conjures vivid portrayals of the mythological deities associated with our solar system, from Mars’ drums of war to Neptune’s ethereal mysticism. Plus, bassist and Creative Alliance member Xavier Foley brings consummate versatility to the stage, performing his For Justice and Peace, a powerful meditation on the legacy of slavery in the U.S. Learn more at orsymphony.org
