The story of the heroic yet doomed 1912 Terra Nova Expedition to Antarctica, led by Captain Robert Scott, is told in readings from Scott’s diary, original images from the journey by photographer Herbert Ponting and the boundless music of Vaughan Williams. Seattle favorite and newly appointed Principal Conductor of the New Zealand Symphony Gemma New joins us for this program of high-stakes drama.
