Poulenc Holst

The Poulenc Holst concert invites you to experience a blend of orchestral and choral music led by Wayne Marshall. The Slovak Philharmonic joins the female section of the Slovak Philharmonic Choir to perform Poulenc’s Organ Concerto in G minor and Holst’s suite The Planets. This program offers a chance to hear two distinct but complementary works, showcasing both the organ’s expressive power and the sweeping scope of a large orchestra. You’ll be immersed in a setting designed for rich, detailed sound. Beyond the music, the concert highlights the contrast between Poulenc’s intimate, lyrical style and Holst’s expansive, atmospheric movements. The combination of choir and orchestra adds layers of texture that deepen the listening experience. Whether you’re drawn to classical music or curious about these composers, the event provides a thoughtful journey through different moods and colors. It’s a chance to appreciate how these works speak to each other in a single evening.
