This season's movie concert takes a different approach by matching Holst’s classical blockbuster The Planets, with scores by Academy Award winner Hans Zimmer. We feature music from Interstellar, Inception, Dune, Darkstar and Top Gun: Maverick!
We thought it would be both enlightening and fun to introduce Gustav Holst’s stupendous astrological odyssey, The Planets, by playing Hans Zimmer’s modern depictions of space travel. Music from Interstellar, Dune, Inception, and even Darkstar (from Top Gun: Maverick) sets the stage for Holst’s cosmic masterpiece in the second half. We close the season with the largest orchestra of the year, joined by the ethereal voices of Mobile’s Singing Children. It’s a spectacular finale—and a journey that reaches far beyond Earth.
