Holst's The Planets

Minnesota Orchestra

An “energetic pulse” and “a feeling of space” were Lotta Wennäkoski’s two goals as she penned Flounce, and both ideas weave throughout this powerful program. Dima Slobodeniouk joins the SLSO for the first time, leading the orchestra in invigorating performances of Tchaikovsky’s Fourth Symphony, a true display of both sweet nostalgia and soul-shattering passion. Wu Wei plays a stunning concerto on the sheng, a mouth organ and one of the oldest-known Chinese instruments, dating back more than 3,000 years.
