Symphonie fantastique with Anne Akiko Meyers
Grammy Award-winner Anne Akiko Meyers will perform Samuel Barber’s Violin Concerto — a piece she once played for a massive audience of 750,000 in Australia. The concerto is famous for several reasons, not the least of which being that in its final movement Barber requires the soloist to prevail with a thrilling, consuming, and breathtaking finale.

Hector Berlioz composed Symphonie fantastique while he was wracked with passion, fixated on an unrequited love, and deeply inspired by Beethoven. In doing so, he gave the world five movements of intense narrative portraying love’s torment and bliss through the opium dreams of an imaginative young man. In 1830, nothing like it had ever been heard before. Today, it endures as a captivating work of art that spans the orchestra’s instruments, with everything from a delicate waltz theme to ravenous and eerie chaos, and it is regarded as the pièce de résistance of Berlioz’s compositions.
