Music from Interstellar, Dune, Inception, and even Darkstar (from Top Gun: Maverick) sets the stage for Holst’s cosmic masterpiece in the second half. We close the season with the largest orchestra of the year, joined by the ethereal voices of Mobile’s Singing Children. It’s a spectacular finale—and a journey that reaches far beyond Earth.
