Conductor Tarmo Peltokoski
The Baltic Orchestra Festival concert features world-renowned Finnish conductor Tarmo Peltokoski and the Latvian National Symphony Orchestra, who this evening in Vilnius will perform a programme specially prepared for the start of their new concert season. The first part of the concert will feature the internationally acclaimed Tango by Latvian composer Arturo Maskats (b. 1957) and one of the most famous works by British composer Gustav Holst (1874-1934), the orchestral suite Planets. The suite consists of seven movements named after the planets of the solar system: Mars, Venus, Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. Each of these movements reflects the astrological character of a planet, which influences the earthly human condition.
