Edmonton 
Events Description
The Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra joins the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra for two extraordinary masterpieces, a rare opportunity to hear a massed ensemble of more than 125 musicians on the Winspear Centre stage. Of his 1917 suite The Planets, composer Gustav Holst wrote, “The enormity of the universe revealed by science cannot readily be grasped by the human brain, but the music of The Planets enables the mind to acquire some comprehension of the vastness of space where rational understanding fails”.
John Luther Adams’ Pulitzer Prize and Grammy Award-winning 2013 masterpiece Become Ocean is “a meditation on the deep and mysterious tides of existence. Life on Earth first emerged from the sea. And as the polar ice melts and sea levels rise, we humans find ourselves facing the prospect that once again we may literally become ocean.” (John Luther Adams).
