THE PLANETS
March 06, 2024 | 2:30PM
The Bergmann Duo will present Gustav Holst’s sonic, celestial masterpiece, The Planets – one of classical music’s most exciting and beloved works – performing Holst’s own two piano version, accompanied by some beautiful visual imagery.
Holst’s The Planets is colourful, emotional, and full of movement exactly what you’d expect from a trip through the galaxies and beyond. Written between 1914-1916, The Planets represents all the known planets (except Earth) and their corresponding astrological characters.
