30% off (Sale price $10.50 ) :: Boston Philharmonic Youth Orchestra: Britten, Holst – Sunday, Feb 24, 2019 / 3:00pm


30% off (Sale price $10.50, Reg. Price $15.00) :: All three of the works on this program display an astounding mastery of the colors and the virtuosity of a modern large orchestra. But of special interest is the second piece, Joseph Schwantner’s New Morning for the World, a gorgeous kaleidoscope of sound, or rather an opulent sonic wave that rolls in from afar and gradually inundates you with its radiance. Benjamin Britten’s A Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra features a solo for each of the principal players in the orchestra, each one a variation on the theme by Henry Purcell that forms the basis of the work. And the second half of the program is Holst’s The Planets, which hardly needs an introduction. Holst used the astrological associations of the planets as a kind of program – or rather pretext – for the work, but the real substance is its range of sounds, the huge spectrum of orchestral timbres and combinations.
