Michael Collins - conductor & clarinet

Delius
On hearing the first cuckoo in Spring

Mozart
Clarinet Concerto, A major

Holst
The Planets

Stunning projected images of the planets from NASA will form a backdrop to Holst’s suite The Planets. Our conductor for the evening, Michael Collins, is also the soloist in Mozart’s glorious Clarinet Concerto. The Planets is a seven-movement colourful and evocative musical representation of the planets which is as powerful now as it was when it premiered in 1920 – Pluto is missing as it wasn’t discovered until 1930.
