COMING SOON
Land, Legends & the Planets

Saturday 22nd November 2025, 3pm
Strode Theatre, Street, Somerset

Bring the whole family for an afternoon of popular orchestral masterworks. Wagner’s Overture to Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg showcases the composer’s grand operatic style. Next, we travel to Bohemia for Smetana’s Vltava, which paints a musical picture of the eponymous river as it flows through the Czech countryside. The concert concludes with one of the great orchestral spectacles of the 20th century: Gustav Holst’s The Planets. From the bracing power of “Mars, the Bringer of War” to the ethereal mystery of “Neptune, the Mystic,” this enduring favourite blends cosmic imagination with bold orchestration.

Conducted by Hitoshi Suzuki, this concert promises a thrilling blend of drama, lyricism and orchestral colour. A must for classical music lovers and newcomers alike.
