Giovanni Bottesini — Double Bass Concerto No. 2 in B minor (Xavier Foley, double bass)
Gustav Holst — The Planets, Op. 32

A triumph of orchestration, Holst's The Planets conjures vivid portrayals of the mythological deities associated with our solar system, from Mars' drums of war to Neptune's ethereal mysticism. Plus, bassist and Creative Alliance member Xavier Foley brings consummate versatility to the stage, performing his For Justice and Peace, a powerful meditation on the legacy of slavery in the U.S.

Note: The Saturday, June 3 program performance of this program takes place at 2pm due to the Starlight Parade.
