Festival Finale: The Planets
with Amersham Festival of Music Chamber Orchestra

Saturday, 25th April 2026 - 6:30pm


The final concert of Amersham Festival’s ‘CREATING SPACE’ season features one of the all-time great British pieces of orchestral music, presented for the first time ever in St Mary’s in a stunning version for chamber orchestra by George Morton.


In seven astronomic movements, composer Gustav Holst musically paints the characters of Mars, Venus, Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.

Amersham Festival’s celebrated chamber orchestra returns, conducted by Artistic Director Chris Hopkins in the atmospheric setting of St Mary’s.
