Sheffield International Concert Season 2026/27 - Taiwan Philharmonic

Information
Prepare to blast off into space with the Taiwan Philharmonic, under the direction of experienced Mission Control Commander, Jun Markl! Colliding with NASA's planned launch of the Artemis 3 and the 50th anniversary of the release of George Lucas' iconic film, Star Wars, the voyage begins with the irresistibly energetic Short Ride in a Fast Machine by American Composer John Adams. Richard Strauss' dramatic tone poem, Also sprach Zarathustra, became famous after Stanley Kubrick chose to use his opening to represent the sunrise from space in his classic film, 2001:A Space Odyssey. Holst characteristic portraits of two planets, Mars and Jupiter, lead seamlessly into music from Star Wars, written by the legendary film composer, John Williams. Perfect for classical music fans and first-time concertgoers alike, this accessible programme celebrates the orchestra at its most cinematic and spine-tingling.
