NY Phil: 'The Planets' & 'Atmosphères'

• Dima Slobodeniouk, conductor
• J'Nai Bridges, mezzo-soprano

From war-like Mars and bumptious Jupiter to distant, ethereal Neptune, Holst takes you on a journey through the solar system, with each movement inspired by a planet and its astrological associations. Under the baton of Dima Slobodeniouk, you'll recognize Ligeti's Atmosphères from the dense orchestral textures heard in 2001: A Space Odyssey. J'Nai Bridges sings of a mother's grief in Perry's Stabat Mater.

Runs Nov. 22-25.
