The orchestra will close the season with Khachaturian’s Three Dances from the Gayne Ballet, Gustav Holst’s rollicking Jupiter from his monumental work for orchestra The Planets, and as a grand finale we offer the final movement from Shostakovich’s Fifth Symphony, one of the most important symphonic works of the entire 20th century.
