Our first full season under the musical direction of Bruno Ferrandis features a unique multi-media performance: Gustav Holst’s The Planets with simultaneous video projection. Also on the program are two other composers who reach beyond the borders of the usual imagination. Olivier Messiaen, in his tribute to Mozart called “A Smile,” touches on the mysticism of nature and his faith in God. Gustav Mahler’s song cycle, performed by the exquisite mezzo-soprano Jacalyn Kreitzer, expresses the passion of German folk poetry in symphonic form. An opening concert both exciting and profound!
MUSIC OF THE SPHERES: The Planets for Orchestra SRS performs Holst’s 50-minute piece with live-sequenced video projection of images sourced from NASA and enhanced with computer graphics. The audience may have the uncanny illusion of piloting a space ship while listening as the orchestra plays movements descriptive of Mars, Venus, Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. Computer stations in the lobby will allow audience members to “explore” the solar system on their own using interactive 3D controls.
