Symphony Series 7 – Reverie
25–26
Oct
Delve into dreams and fantasies
Surrender to the psychedelic tale of Berlioz’s Symphonie fantastique. This surreal self-portrait was written to seduce the woman he loved – though his carnal composition is bound to ensnare you, too. We’re pairing it with another French piece: Ravel’s evocative Piano Concerto in G. Following its whimsical first movement, this jazzy daydream permits a few moments of calm before the soloist’s final flurry to the finish. Closer to home, you’ll hear the World Premiere of an ASO commission from distinguished Adelaide composer Graeme Koehne.
