The Brockton Symphony Orchestra (BrSO) opens its Masterworks series with “The Planets,” an awe-inspiring program spanning more than a century of orchestral imagination, on Sunday, October 18, 2026 at 3:00 PM at Oliver Ames High School Auditorium in North Easton.
The concert opens with Icelandic composer Anna Thorvaldsdottir’s Metacosmos, a vast and otherworldly soundscape in which powerful forces seem to pull between chaos and beauty, darkness and light. The program then turns to Gustav Holst’s monumental orchestral suite The Planets, composed amid the upheaval of the First World War. From the relentless force of “Mars, the Bringer of War” to the serenity of “Venus, the Bringer of Peace,” Holst uses the heavens to explore something profoundly human.
In a world still wrestling with war and peace, uncertainty and wonder, these two extraordinary works invite audiences to look beyond themselves—and to hear our own turbulent, beautiful humanity reflected in the cosmos.

THE CRIMSON HOUR
Our autumn sister show to The Velvet Hour, The Crimson Hour is inspired by that mysterious time of year when the veil is said to grow thin.
An Evening with Little Miss and the Boom Some evenings entertain. Some invite you to stay awhile.
The days are getting shorter, the air has turned crisp, and autumn has begun to settle over Easton. Night falls early now, and inside the old-world beauty of Oakes Ames Memorial Hall, candlelight warms the dark wood, deep purple shadows gather in the corners, and the last colors of October linger just outside the doors.
You're invited to join Little Miss and the Boom for The Crimson Hour—an evening of live music, vintage glamour, and the mysterious, moody elegance of an October night.
Set inside the beautifully preserved Oakes Ames Memorial Hall, The Crimson Hour brings you two hours of the music, stories, theatrical moments, and audience interaction that make an evening with Little Miss and the Boom something rather special.
Expect a night that moves from smoky and sultry to swinging and spirited, with our signature vintage sounds filling the hall from the first note to the last. It's an evening made for October—with candlelight, autumn color, cocktails, and just enough shadow around the edges to make things interesting.
And, naturally, dressing the part is encouraged. Vintage glamour, autumn elegance, your favorite little black dress—or perhaps something with a touch of crimson, plum, or old-fashioned Halloween about it. This is October, after all.
THE EVENING Friday, October 23, 2026 Oakes Ames Memorial Hall • Easton, MA VIP Reception: 5:45 PM Doors: 6:30 PM Show: 7:00 PM
