A journey through space and time with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.
Before Holst’s classic portrayal of the solar system, a performance of Manu Martin’s Cosmic Rhapsody, based on a narrative created by Susan Lim and Christina Teenz Tan. In the piece, the quest for solutions to Earth's environmental crisis intertwines with elements of suspense, drama, romance, intrigue, and scientific exploration.
Pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet, described by Seen & Heard as 'electrifying', joins the orchestra and choir for this unexpected, beautiful and epic journey.
