The Planets – An HD Odyssey

The Planets – An HD Odyssey is a multi-media concert presentation from the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, pairing Gustav Holst’s cosmic orchestral suite The Planets with high-definition imagery from modern space exploration projected on a giant screen above the stage. This immersive staging lets the music unfold against a constantly shifting visual canvas of planets, moons, and spacecraft imagery. The program also includes a contemporary opener, Anna Clyne’s Pivot, and Mozart’s Symphony No. 41, “Jupiter,” which together create an evening that blends cosmic wonder with classical elegance. The performance is recommended for listeners ages 7 and up and is designed to inspire curiosity about both music and the universe.

The concert takes place on Friday, February 12, 2027, at 8pm at The Music Center, the venue associated with Strathmore. It is presented by the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra; the page notes that this event is not presented by Strathmore itself. Damon Gupton conducts the orchestra, and the Baltimore Choral Arts Society, under music director Anthony Blake Clark, joins for The Planets. The work features a wordless female chorus in the final movement, so the ensemble plays an important role in the full effect of Holst’s score.
