The spring concert of the Illinois State University Symphony Orchestra will feature both variety and a touch of multimedia at 3 p.m. Sunday, March 5, in Braden Auditorium.
Admission is free.
The Women of the Concert Choir and Treble Choir will perform. The suite of six movements presents a sonic description of the characteristics of the various planets in our solar system as imagined by Holst with astrological references. From 2 p.m. until the concert begins, two films will be shown in the first floor west lounge and first floor east lounge of the auditorium. One film was directed by the legendary movie director Ken Russell and presents images inspired by the themes of the various planets. The second film is a NASA generated fictional journey through the planets and moons of our solar system.
