Everyone was coming in to rehearse for our concert in Cupertino CA, when we happened to get in the car right as we were playing on the radio! Even though NPR’s Performance Today with Fred Child recorded a concert back at UGA in Athens, Georgia in Dec. last year, we had a difficult time placing what recording it was! And then it hit…this is Performance Today and that was Greg Anderson’s arrangement of Holst’s Planets he wrote for us! It’s always crazy to hear ourselves on the radio. We think it’s something we’ll never quite get used to. If you want to hear, we close out the first hour of the episode…

I have heard many of Brown recordings and thought that The Planets would not be one that would work, I was very wrong. A great adoption of one of the most popular 20th century pieces.
