To close the 25/26 season, John led a community-wide project in Spartanburg, SC entitled “The Moons” to coincide with the opening of a planetarium, which was awarded an NEA grant. To accompany Gustav Holst’s The Planets, John commissioned a local composer to write a work exploring the moons of the solar system. The Spartanburg Philharmonic held a writing contest for students to compose prose or poetry for each moon, which served as narration for the piece. Audience members were thrilled by the experience.
