The LSO perform a selection of Holst's iconic The Planets suite as part of the 2026 BMW Classics concert live from Trafalgar Square.

Uranus, the Magician
The four mighty notes on brass that introduce Uranus spell out the musical equivalent of Holst’s name – he is the magician here. The four-note theme is heard throughout the movement against a contrasting, increasingly manic march.
