Gustav Holst takes us on an epic interstellar journey across our solar system, exhilarating and mysterious. From Mars the Warrior to the Ice Giants of Uranus and Neptune, The Planets is a musical vision like no other.
There are more celestial sounds in store from Royal Northern College of Music alumni Grace-Evangeline Mason. Her ABLAZE THE MOON has been described as ‘an amorous nocturne’ and the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra performed its premiere at the BBC Proms in 2023.
Opening the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra’s 24-25 Season is the force that is Beethoven, and Paul Lewis is one of the finest interpreters of his piano music. With their Chief Conductor John Storgårds in command, they are all set for season launch and would love you to come along for the ride!
