New Haven Symphony Orchestra: THE PLANETS

Holst’s cosmic opus The Planets and Gabriella Smith’s vibrant Tumblebird Contrails launch the New Haven Symphony Orchestra's 2025-26 season with a journey through space, nature, and imagination at Woolsey Hall in downtown New Haven. Each planet will be introduced by spoken word performances curated by Hip-hop poet and playwright Aaron Jafferis, and Elm City Girls’ Choir will lend their voices to a mystical finale.
