Symphonie Fantastique!
Symphonie Fantastique!
THURS JULY 27th, 7:30pm
L.R. Wilson Concert Hall (McMaster University)
Alain Trudel, Conductor
Élisabeth Pion, Piano
Symphonie Fantastique’s four-part symphony was created by Berlioz to win over an Irish actress, a woman to whom he was deeply infatuated. The symphony tells a strange and dark story in music, provoked by the different emotion’s which Berlioz felt. It shows his love and heart through the flirtatious flutes, anger and execution with the drums, a beautiful and elegant ball with the harp and finally the dark sounds of a funeral through the tuba and bassoon. Symphonie Fantastique is full of twists and turns, poison, deception, love, and trickery. The evening will also feature Ravel’s Piano Concerto in G with Élisabeth Pion making her Ontario debut. Élisabeth Pion is known internationally as a soloist, chamber musician, and artistic collaborator.
