BERLIOZ SYMPHONIE FANTASTIQUE
Boettcher Concert Hall

Hector Berlioz's early Romantic tour de force, Symphonie fantastique, headlines the evening, telling the bizarre story of an artist in five movements: His love for a young woman sweeps from joy to jealousy into an opium-fueled dream of a witches' sabbath.

THE MUSIC OF JAMES BOND WITH HILARY KOLE
