Out of This World

Escape Earth’s gravity with the brilliance of “Chaski” with Adrienne Inglis and Shana Norton and then experience a trip around the universe with “The Planets.” 

"Chaski" has honed a distinctive style that fuses their roots in classical music with a whole world of flute/harp traditions. Their concerts showcase an eye-popping array of instruments and a colorful mix of musical styles. You might hear a Bolivian huayño played on panpipes, a Scottish strathspey featuring penny whistles, the premier performance of a newly commissioned work, or a spoken-word piece that flows seamlessly into its musical counterpart.

Gustav Holst's The Planets is a seven-movement orchestral suite, each depicting the character of a planet in our solar system as imagined through astrology. Premiered in 1918, the work includes movements such as "Mars, the Bringer of War" and "Jupiter, the Bringer of Jollity," blending vivid orchestration with striking emotional contrasts. It remains one of Holst’s most celebrated compositions.
