| Performance Notes | A diabolical Witches Sabbath, a ball, an unrequited passion and a march to the gallows make up the musical fever-dream of Berliozs Symphonie fantastique. Inspired by the French composers own romantic infatuation with a young Irish actress, the score is a cinematic fantasy full of tragedy and passion, a work teeming with orchestral drama and by turns gorgeous and grotesque.
The BBC National Orchestra of Wales is joined by one of the countrys leading brass bands, the Tredegar Band, for a new Concerto Grosso by Gavin Higgins that celebrates the brass band as part of Britains cultural heritage.
