On October 10, 1920, Appleby Matthews conducted the first public performance of Gustav Holst’s “The Planets”, which did not include the yet-to-be discovered planet Pluto. On August 24, 2006, the International Astronomical Union passed a new definition of Pluto that excludes it as a planet. Sometimes things just work out for the best, and on May 13, 2011 the Toronto Youth Wind Orchestra will present a performance of the complete work (sans Pluto), scored specifically for wind ensemble and chorus
