The Planets in High Def

Emmy Award Winner and Grammy Nominee Adam Schoenberg is among the Top 10 most performed living composers.  Jacob Nissly, principal percussionist of the San Francisco Symphony, joins us to perform Adam’s concerto for percussion & winds, Losing Earth. Next is Gustav Holst’s masterpiece The Planets, complete with big-screen images from the Hubble Space Telescope. Simply out of this world!
