A Schreiner University astrophysicist will join the Symphony of the Hills on Thursday as the orchestra closes out its 25th season with a nearly sold-out multimedia performance of Gustav Holst’s “The Planets” at the Cailloux Theater.
Dr. Kim Arvidsson, professor of physics and astronomy at Schreiner and director of the Loftis Observatory, will host a pre-performance talk that frames the evening in both historical and scientific context — comparing the solar system as Holst understood it in 1915 to what space probes have revealed since. A large screen will display high-resolution NASA images and video of each planet as the orchestra plays.
