Houston … if we have a problem its certainly not with the Symphony.
Tettenhall’s Inner Wheel Club this evening visited Birmingham's Symphony Hall to hear the Houston Symphony perform Holst's The Planets - appropriately accompanied by a selection of NASA HD clips of each of the planets on this tour of the solar system.
Premiered in the Space Agency and Orchestra’s home city in January 2010 this is the first time that this joint project has been performed in Europe.
It was a wonderful performance by the orchestra and only a shame that they could not be persuaded to a third encore. Our thanks to Lynne Cave for her work in organising an exceptionally entertaining evening.
