What better way to close the season than hearing the full expressive might of the TSO in Holst’s technicolor orchestral masterpiece, The Planets, which became an inspiration for John Williams’ movie scores. Maestro Gomez navigates the stormy seas of Britten’s Four Sea Interludes and introduces Daniel Asia’s powerful At the Far Edge in celebration of the Tucson composer’s 70th birthday.
