Our 2024-25 season opens with The Planets in Cheltenham Town Hall on 19 October, to celebrate Holst’s 150th birthday. The programme includes pieces that connect with The Planets in source, sound or spirit: Copland’s Fanfare for the Common Man, Holst’s own Folksongs from Somerset, and Dukas’ Sorcerer’s Apprentice. Follow the links below for tickets.

(If you’d like a sneak peek, or an extra helping, we’ll also be playing The Planets the previous weekend in Gloucester Cathedral as part of Luke Jerram’s Mars: War and Peace.)
