The Planets

Wed 9 Jan 2008 7:30pm at Symphony Hall

What better way to chase away those January blues than with Holst’s
ever-popular Planets Suite? Sakari Oramo again demonstrates his great
affinity with British music in this blistering character study of seven very
different planets which make up our solar system. Elgar’s wistful early
Serenade offers a gentler form of Englishness, while Mozart’s finest violin concerto played by an outstanding young violinist completes the programme.
