If you think you hear hints of Star Wars in Holst’s The Planets, you are not wrong. This cosmic experience has inspired composers and patrons for more than 100 years. The Planets is a suite of miniature, often turbulent tone poems of varying moods. The Percussion Collective starts off the program with Christopher Theofanidis’ Drum Circles, a sonic and visual blockbuster that has plenty of bells and whistles – for real. Think of it like a percussion concerto, in collaboration with the full orchestra. These program notes include music excerpts.
