Lift off

The Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra create an out of this world program featuring New Orleans Jazz virtuoso Wynton Marsalis and Gustav Holst's cosmic adventure suite. Under the baton of Cristian Macelaru, this evening will truly take you high up into the stars.

Accompanying Marsalis will be internationally renowned violinist Nicola Benedetti who'll be performing the violin concerto he wrote for her.
