Description

Join us for an evening of music and astronomy as we take you on a tour of the planets in our Solar System set to the music of ‘The Planets’ by Gustav Holst. Each of the seven movements in Holst’s orchestral suite represents the attributes of the Roman god or goddess the planet is named after. In listening order are Mars, the Bringer of War; Venus, the Bringer of Peace; Mercury, the Winged Messenger; Jupiter, the Bringer of Jollity; Saturn, the Bringer of Old Age; Uranus, the Magician; and Neptune, the Mystic.

All ticket sales are final.  Please use our Directions page for information on parking and getting to the planetarium.
