Mari

Piano Concerto No.1 in E-flat major, S.124 LW.H4

Symphonie fantastique Op. 14

Approved

Strap in for the psychedelic rollercoaster of Symphonie fantastique, Berlioz’s epic fever dream of obsession, ecstasy, tantrums, and wild ambition. Conductor Anja Bihlmaier brings to life this escapist (and arguably autobiographical) tale of an artist’s self-destructive passion for a beautiful woman.

The NSO gets things buzzing with Bryce Dessner’s Mari, named for the Basque forest goddess, and Liszt’s scintillating Piano Concerto No. 1 performed by the “one in a million giant of solo piano” Benjamin Grosvenor (The Independent).
