| Performance Notes | A concert of larger-than-life sounds, stories and characters has Berliozs Symphonie fantastique at its heart. Heady, opium-fuelled visions create a kaleidoscopic sequence: a swirling ballroom, a march to the scaffold and a witches sabbath, all set to the obsessive pulse of unrequited love.
Sci-fi legend Philip K. Dick inspires Mark Simpsons ZEBRA, a new concerto for maverick guitarist and former BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artist Sean Shibe. The concert opens with Strausss Death and Transfiguration no less than a musical struggle between life and death, climaxing in a promise of eternal peace. |
