Experience a symphonic tour of the solar system through Holst’s cosmic The Planets—its iconic “Mars” movement the inspiration behind Darth Vader's theme, “The Imperial March.” Join us Feb 26, 27 & Mar 1 at Roy Thomson Hall. | Toronto Symphony Orchestra

This week in 1965, NASA's Mariner 4 space probe sent close-up images of Mars back to Earth for the first time. Well, since it's nearly the BBC Proms, it got us reminiscing about this time we played Gustav Holst's timeless banger back in 2015 ☄️ Susanna Mälkki conducted us and we were joined by The Elysian Singers' altos and sopranos for those otherwordly voices in 'Neptune'. | BBC Symphony Orchestra
