Semiahmoo Strings’ next concert will take place on Thursday, January 30th, 7:30 pm, at the Wheelhouse Theatre (Earl Marriott Secondary School,15751 16th Ave., Surrey). The orchestra will perform a new string orchestration of Gustav Holst’s brilliant suite, The Planets, while images of the solar system are projected on the big screen. The members of the orchestra are spreading their artistic wings, and creating their own films, using High Definition NASA images and video, that will synchronize with Holst’s score. The result promises to be a feast for the senses!
