BLAST OFF INTO SPACE!

The Reading Symphony Orchestra ends its season with a launch into outer space with a pops concert experience. Featuring music inspired by the cosmos, you’ll relive the cinematic experiences of Star Wars and E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial … and explore the solar system at lightspeed stopping by Mars and Jupiter imagined by the British composer Holst.

The afternoon is sure to be a live, immersive experience with costumes, community-driven lighting, and infinitely more.
