Program
BERLIOZ: Symphonie Fantastique

Get ready for a wild ride with the “Fantastic Symphony” of French composer Hector Berlioz—the ultimate trip of an opium-dazed composer who ends up RSVPing to his own funeral. It’s a symphonic rollercoaster of lovesick melodies, a witches’ sabbath party, and enough drama to make your ex’s wedding look tame. Buckle up for a musical escapade so intense, you’ll leave the concert hall checking your own pulse!

You’ll not only get to enjoy the music but also commentary from Music Director Carl St.Clair as he guides you through the piece before it is performed.
