Women from the Portland State University Choirs join the Oregon Symphony in performing Holst’s “The Planets,” a triumph of orchestration conjuring vivid portrayals of the mythological deities associated with our solar system, from Mars' drums of war to Neptune's ethereal mysticism. Bassist Xavier Foley joins the program with his “For Justice and Peace,” a powerful meditation on the legacy of slavery in the U.S..
