Holst’s The Planets performed by Cheltenham Symphony Orchestra
2018-09-22 18:30 - 22:00 | Gloucester Cathedral
Gloucester Cathedral is delighted to be hosting a very special centenary performance of Holst’s much-loved Planets Suite, in the composer’s own county Cathedral.
The Cheltenham Symphony Orchestra will be conducted by Gloucester Cathedral’s Director of Music Adrian Partington in what will be a roof-raising concert of light and sound. The Cathedral’s own Girl Choristers will perform the famous ethereal ladies’ chorus that ends the suite.
The concert will begin with a performance of Sir Edward Elgar’s Cockaigne Overture.
Written at the end of WW1, during which Holst spent time working with troops at Salonica, the Planets Suite is an apt start to the Cathedral’s autumn programme of events commemorating the end of the war.
Laura Kinnear, Curator of the Holst Birthplace Museum, will deliver a pre-concert talk in the Lady Chapel at 6.00pm, covering her research into Holst’s war work and the ongoing Salonica exhibition at the Museum.
The Sauret Strad returns to Gloucester …
The programme will also include fellow Gloucestershire composer Vaughan Williams’s Lark Ascending, frequently named as one the Britain’s favourite classical works, and composed as a response to WW1. We are thrilled that rising star Nazrin Rashidova will perform the violin solo in this work, and even more so that she will be playing it on the 1685 Sauret Stradivari.

I Infinite
2018-11-20 19:00 - 23:00
Set in a white, digitally animated environment I INFINITE is inspired by the digital world’s quest to re-create life.
Part dance, part video installation, it explores the boundaries between the artificial and the real, the digital and the organic, worlds.
Graphic patterns slice through the space, glowing cubes fracture into a myriad of miniscule squares and pools of light hover in the air like oil on water.
A solo dance piece, I INFINITE is performed in a white cube space.
You, the audience, are free to roam the space as you please, to stand close to the dancer or just sit, transfixed, to watch the refined movement so often missed in more traditional theatre spaces.
Dance, music, art and design clash in a mesmerising performance piece. A beautiful and sublime experience.
– Fused Magazine
Immerse yourself in I lnfinite and the everyday melts away into a bravura haze of cosmic imponderables.”
