BATES · Philharmonia fantastique
BERLIOZ · Symphonie fantastique

Hector Berlioz’s Symphonie Fantastique is a groundbreaking and dramatic work that takes the listener on a wild ride through the dreams, fantasies, and despair of a passionate mind. The symphony’s vivid orchestration and bold musical ideas create a thrilling narrative, culminating in the famous “March to the Gallows” and "Witches’ Sabbath" movements. Philharmonia Fantastique by Mason Bates is a vivid and imaginative orchestral work that explores the magical world of an animated orchestra. With a unique blend of live music and electronic elements, Bates brings to life a story of a young boy's journey through the world of symphonic instruments.
