Looking ahead to November, Boulder Phil will honor our solar system with a Masterworks performance celebrating the 150th anniversary of Gustav Holst’s birth. Audiences will be treated to The Planets, Holst’s iconic symphonic suite that captures the grandeur and mystery of our cosmic neighbors. This concert will also feature the world premiere of Moons of the Giants, a composition by Colorado resident and CU alum John Heins.
Inspired by the moons of Saturn, Jupiter, and Neptune, Heins’ work brings a fresh, modern perspective to this celestial exploration.
Pre-concert activities will include aerospace and educational displays. It will be an evening that transcends time, combining music, science, and community in a triute to our universe. The orchestra will be playing at the Macky Auditorium in Boulder on November 10 at 4 pm. Tickets range from $29 to $95. Visit BoulderPhil.org or call 303.449.1343 for more information and tickets.
