The Planets - Spiritato

St Martin's Church

Festival regulars Spiritato bring us a celestial orchestral journey through the planets in a pre-imagining of Holst’s famous masterpiece. In this programme each planet’s character is portrayed through music of the 17th and 18th centuries evoking the same astrological archetypes that inspired Holst: finding peace, war, jollity, wisdom, magic, and mysticism in the music of Uccellini, Handel, Rameau and others. Spiritato Kinga Ujszászi director, violin Supported by Continuo Foundation Running time approx 2 hours including a 20 minute interval
