Description
Tackling Gustav Holst’s iconic symphonic work, the quintet takes us on a majestic interplanetary voyage that sounds amazingly orchestral, including by uniting with the full, roaring power of an organ. Enhancing Buzz Brass’s already impressive palette and expressive dynamics, the combination of these six instruments makes for an enthralling performance that is sure to be remembered!
Optional narration and visual projections
Buzz illustrates its interpretation of The Planets through the projection of breathtaking images related to the planets that are the subject of Holst’s magnificent work. This riveting show explores the far reaches of the Solar System in seven fascinating video clips. Images are supported by the reading of a text by Pierre Chastenay, astronomer and lecturer in science at the Université du Québec à Montréal, public speaker, author, and host of the science show Le Code Chastenay on the Télé-Québec network.
