Gustov Holst’s “The Planets” is a recognizable symphony that has inspired many film scores, including John Williams’ “Star Wars” theme.

The ASO will also perform “Night Ferry” by Anna Clyne which is described as a chaotic journey of emotion.

All ticket holders will receive complimentary eclipse glasses, courtesy of Saracen Casino Resort.
