The Planets

Join us at EJ Thomas Hall on October 19 at 7:30 pm for a performance of Holst’s The Planets, featuring the Akron Symphony Chorus. This iconic orchestral suite takes listeners on a musical journey through the solar system, with each movement representing a different planet, portrayed as their own unique emotion. Don’t miss this opportunity to experience one of classical music’s most imaginative works live.
