Civic Auditorium

Young and old alike will have stars in their eyes, literally, during this year's Free Family Concert. With the theme "2001: A Space Odyssey," Marin has crafted a performance that's not just an orchestral concert, but a voyage!

In The Eagle Has Landed by Marvin Lamb, you'll hear the stirring words of brave astronauts during the historic moon landing narrated by Milton Williams in a powerful and lyric voice, set to music and accompanied by dramatic space video from NASA.The star trek continues when the orchestra embarks on a tour of the solar system with Gustav Holst's The Planets (Jupiter and Mars) and into deep space for John Williams' Star Wars. Intimations of the future and the meaning of it all comes from the past with Strauss' Also sprach Zarathustra. Fasten your seatbelts and prepare for blast-off.
