Claude Debussy L’isle joyeuse (The Joyful Island) 

James Lee III Sukkot Through Orion’s Nebula 

Gustav Holst The Planets 

Featuring the UWF Singers 

Some composers looked within for inspiration, while others looked up. Join the Pensacola Symphony Orchestra for Gustav Holst’s The Planets, evoking the astrological characterizations of our celestial neighbors. From the romantic lyricism of “Venus” to the golden song of “Jupiter,” the massive seven-movement suite spans a range of emotions. The program also includes Sukkot Through Orion’s Nebula by contemporary composer James Lee III, and Claude Debussy’s The Joyful Island, depicting a merry party arriving on the island known as the birthplace of Venus.
