Aberdeen City Orchestra: The Planets

Aberdeen City Orchestra is delighted to return to the Music Hall under conductor Chris Gray for an evening that travels from remote lighthouse to cosmic expanse.Doreen Carwithen’s Bishop Rock captures the drama of the Atlantic’s westernmost lighthouse, while Samuel Coleridge-Taylor’s Othello Suite brings Shakespearean tragedy to orchestral life.

The concert culminates with Holst’s ever-popular The Planets, a work that continues to captivate audiences with its vivid portrayal of astrological character.“
