NYOS Summer Concert
Iris ter Schiphorst Gravitational Waves
Camille Pépin Laniakea
Gustav Holst The Planets

Expect futuristic electronics and dazzling soundscapes from the National Youth Orchestra of Scotland at Perth Concert Hall this summer. Venturing into the depths of the cosmos, our journey begins with Iris ter Schiphorst’s Gravitational Waves, a piece inspired by the 2015 detection of colliding black holes. Camille Pépin’s Laniakea follows, its shimmering orchestral textures and luminous motifs evoking the path of innumerable planetary systems on the vast currents of the universe. The programme comes full circle with Gustav Holst’s The Planets, each movement an iconic portrait of our solar system. Combining majestic brass, intricate woodwinds, and rhythmic drive, Holst’s classic orchestral suite conjures cosmic wonder and human drama with aplomb. It remains a cornerstone of the national repertoire.
