The Planets & Augustin Hadelich

Venue: Orpheum

The Vancouver Symphony Orchestra Musically Speaking presents Holst's The Planets and Augustin Hadelich

Blast off with special guest conductor Gemma New into Holst’s ever-popular interstellar suite, The Planets. With gorgeous tone and pyrotechnic passion, the singularly gifted Augustin Hadelich is undoubtedly one of the most consummate violinists of our time. Plus, British composer Alissa Firsova’s interpretation of the stormy love affair between Gustav Mahler’s widow Alma and expressionist painter Oskar Kokoschka.
