Capital City Symphony concludes its 51st season with a special musical ode to the beauty of our planet and beyond.

The first part of the program includes a special format! Enjoy the heavenly music of a chamber orchestra and choir from the Atlas’s iconic lobby staircase while you continue to enjoy your pre-show refreshments.

Then, join us in the Lang Theatre for a multi-media presentation of Gustav Holst’s famous orchestral work, The Planets, featuring video projections from NASA. Don’t miss this exciting season finale!
