Berlioz - Symphonie Fantastique
Thoughts from Morihiko:
“Love at first sight. Or is it just youthful infatuation? (Well, probably the latter, since he saw her on stage but she doesn’t even know who he is.) Jealous rage. Hallucinatory dreams witnessing his own execution and sorcery out of control. The plot for the latest Twilight film? No, it is the programme of Hector Berlioz’s somewhat autobiographical Symphonie Fantastique. Of course, the scandalous premise alone cannot guarantee that work of art to be immortalized among the best. Thankfully, Berlioz gave us one of the brilliantly orchestrated, effectively constructed and most dramatic pieces ever written for orchestra – a perfect close to our magnificent season. We will celebrate youth by combining forces with the talented and dedicated musicians of the SCP Youth Orchestra and by collaborating with the first prize winner of this year’s Arthur Fraser International Concerto Competition, founded by our own Symphony League, for pre-college students.”
