What’s Special About This Concert:
Oklahoma Chamber Symphony celebrates the 150th birthday of composer Gustav Holst by performing his galactic masterpiece, The Planets. OCS Composer in Residence Clint Williams gives the first ever performance of a new piece based on the theme of Pluto. Inspired by the Austrian Alps, In This Broad Earth will be performed as a representation of our home planet.
