FROM THE OCEANS TO THE STARS

Our season closes with a trip to the stars. Peter Maxwell Davies, a longtime resident of the Orkney Islands off Scotland, captures their powerful weather and rustic wedding traditions in a raucous barnburner that includes a strolling bagpiper! MSO Concertmaster Jenny Gregoire takes to the skies in Ralph Vaughan Williams’ gentle depiction of a bird in flight. And Gustav Holst’s astounding astrological journey takes us to the outer reaches of human aspiration.
