RFO with Karina Canellakis - Photo: Eduardus Lee

A powerful orchestral representation of the solar system, conducted by our regular guest conductor Tarmo Peltokoski.

Programme

  • Gustav Holst The Planets
  • Ralph Vaughan Williams Sinfonia Antartica

At a time when polar expeditions still required heroism and space travel existed only in the imagination, Vaughan Williams and Holst wrote their great musical vistas. The Planets takes us on a journey through the solar system; the Sinfonia Antarctica - almost never heard in the concert hall, but utterly brilliant, according to Tarmo Peltokoski - shows the unapproachable beauty of the South Pole. Dazzling.
