Delft Symphony Orchestra plays planetary music

What remains of the astrological meanings attributed to planets in the early 1900s? TU Delft researcher Bart Root will be bridging the gap between the mythological significance of planets in music and scientific research into planets at TU Delft on Saturday, 16 November 2024. His brief introduction, suitable for a broad audience, will feature musical excerpts and images of the planets.

Root’s presentation is part of the Delft Symphony Orchestra’s performance of Gustav Holst’s The Planets at the Nieuwe Kerk in Delft, in celebration of their 21st anniversary.

The Planets is a spectacular piece that is rarely performed, especially by amateur musicians. The score calls for a range of special instruments, such as a bass oboe, cor anglais, contrabassoon, alto flute, and a church organ. For this occasion, a women’s choir has also been formed. As a result, guest players, conservatory students, and professional musicians from Delft and the surrounding area will also be part of the orchestra.

Online ticket sales has closed. Tickets priced at EUR 22 are still available at the door prior to the concert: Nieuwe Kerk, 16 November 2024, 20:15.
