Holst’s The Planets—An HD Odyssey

Shaw’s luminous concert-opener was inspired by scientists who study the night sky’s deepest reaches.

Hailed by music lovers everywhere year after year as a desert-island necessity, The Lark Ascending is a wonder of flight in sound.

While Holst’s orchestral spectacular works its magic in the ear, a giant screen over the stage becomes a canvas for NASA’s jaw-dropping images. A feast for the soul.
