abgeFRACKt: Die Planeten | Kurzkonzert

In the organizer's words:

Gustav Holst's "The Planets" takes you on a musical journey through our solar system - but not in the way you might expect! Instead of dry astronomy, Holst brings the various planets to life with dramatic and exciting sounds. Each planet has its own mood: the planet Mars, for example, which bears the name of the ancient god of war, is depicted with powerful, almost threatening rhythms. Venus, the goddess of love, on the other hand, sounds gentle and peaceful.
Holst has composed the music in such a way that you can directly feel the characters of the planets - from the energy of wild Jupiter to the mysterious stillness of Neptune. It's an exciting, slightly different classical music experience that will both enthrall and amaze you. Get ready to discover the planets in a whole new way!
