Info:
Let the Greenwich Village Orchestra and Music Director Barbara Yahr take you on a tour of the solar system as they perform Gustav Holst's The Planets. Tremble at the frightful war drums of Mars, flutter with winged Mercury and sink into the shimmering mystery of icy Neptune. The program also includes Copland's Quiet City, featuring trumpeter Phil Parsons and English hornist Jason Smoller. Mingle with the musicians at the reception afterwards.
