Berlioz paints a portrait of obsessive love with opium-fueled visions of cinematic realism, featuring haunting ballroom waltzes, a march to the guillotine, and maniacal witches' dances. Opening the program, Debussy's tone poem heaves with hazy sensuality, and violinist Carolin Widmann explores nature and love in works by Takemitsu and Chausson.
Runs May 18-20. The Sunday, May 19 concert will be preceded by a prelude concert featuring BRAVO Youth Orchestra's Intermediate and Advanced Wind Ensembles, starting at 1:30pm.
