The Symphony launches its 94th Season with a program that spans the cosmos. The evening opens with Strauss’s iconic Fanfare from Also Sprach Zarathustra — a thrilling call made famous in 2001: A Space Odyssey. From there, the journey continues with John Williams’s “Adventures on Earth” from E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial, capturing the wonder and heart of one of cinema’s most beloved scores.

The night culminates in Holst’s The Planets, paired with breathtaking live choreographed visuals by Adrian Wyard. Together, music and imagery unite in a dazzling exploration of mystery, motion, and majesty among the stars.
