The Planets with Laura the Astronaut

‘Laura the Astronaut’ is an exciting multi sensory experience using Inventi Ensemble’s arrangement of Holst’s ‘The Planets’, new works by Johannes Luebbers as well as animations by James Josephides. 

We join Laura the Astronaut in her spaceship who unfortunately accidentally flies into a black hole!  

Laura the astronaut meets the characters of Gustav Holst’s The Planets: Mars the bringer of war, Mercury the winged messenger, and Jupiter the bringer of jollity. Laura’s musical journey is going smoothly, until her spaceship flies into a black hole. Suddenly she can’t work out where she is in space or how to find home! 

Inventi Ensemble, leading presenters of chamber music for children, play an exciting arrangement of The Planets set against a lively animated backdrop in this narrated concert about cosmic adventurer Laura the astronaut.
